Easy to be cynical about politics but Mississippi electing a black Senator is a truly remarkable moment in American history - a brief glimmer of light in a depressingly divided world

Wow. The moment Jake Tapper called the Mississippi Senate race is something to see.

Mississippi was ground zero for civil rights. The most dangerous state for Black people. They kept saying go slow, go slow.

Tonight, Mississippi sends a Black man to the Senate.

I once had a copper stop me in Peckham demanding to know if the TOY laptop I was carrying was mine. "It's a child's toy", "BUT IS IT YOURS SIR?". This was repeated three times to the point he was almost shouting. I looked at his 2 colleagues who were laughing their xxxxxxs off 1/

I've requested bodycam footage from
Kent Police after officers searched children's toys in front of my two-year-old.

Comments also suggested the raid was influenced by who the complainant was.

I want answers.

Remembering all those who made the ultimate sacrifice and praying for peace on Armistice Day... it's the anniversary of dad's death today as well. Great man, and father, that he was.

Oh, I'm tired of the noise and the turmoil of battle,
And I'm even upset by the lowing of cattle,
And the clang of' the bluebells is death to my liver,
And the roar of the dandelion gives me a shiver,
Give me Peace; that is all, that is all that I seek…

This is really disgraceful reporting by The Telegraph. I appreciate its editorial position is basically "Muslims Bad" but stuff like this is massively unhelpful for the country in misrepresenting a policy deliberately as rage bait.

The Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) @cfmmuk 3d

1/5 The @Telegraph is claiming that #Muslim students will be offered interest-free #tuition loans by @GOVUK

It cites #Reform's Suella Braverman as saying that this is "anti-British" and "creates a two-tier #education system."

But the article misrepresents the policy. 🧵

Even AFTER trial where a jury has heard and considered all the evidence, this GB News presenter is still sharing a piece she wrote defending a rapist.

If you are genuinely curious and want to think beyond the click-bait headlines ( I realise that will be a stretch for some of you) feel free to read what I wrote 3 years ago.
