From budget squeezes to NHS shifts and EDI under scrutiny, the public sector's in flux. That’s why our growing group of local leaders met not to fix, but to reflect, connect & re-energise. Grateful for community, creativity, and good food. Till next time 🌱 #Leadership

@MiriamBrett Absolutely! Here we see the nuances of racism and microaggressions at play. An all-white panel undermines and ridicules a Muslim woman, reinforcing the ideology that we are not accepted or equally included in society. Where is the objectivity and unbiased media voice here?

Here’s an example of how the press downplays and thus legitimises the far right. Zarah Sultana, a Muslim woman of colour, states the glaringly obviously that these riots are racist and islamophobic, and she is interrupted, sneered at, and condescended.
