We all need to realise that a handful of hate posts are mostly eclipsed by kindness. Raise your voice if you are the loving kind. Let me know you! "Every single one of us could use some Mercy Now!"

I’m English but the England flag makes my blood run cold. It’s the badge of thugs and hate. To pretend otherwise is preposterous.

Thought for the day: ‘The more you give and love unconditionally the more comes back to you when you least expect it’. Keep a good heart ❤️

A little bit about why I’ve been away. It’s been a tough year, but I’ve made it through. secretheadteacher.org/2025/08/01/men…

We stand with Jess, and all #Lionesses players past and present who have suffered racism. A message from the squad:

The Right, THEN : "Shamima Begun at 15 was old enough to know the consequences of their actions." The Right, NOW : "Voting at 16? But these kids aren't old enough to know the consequences of their actions !!"

My husband and I were driving from Dewsbury to Wakefield today and saw an old asian man struggling to walk up a steep hill. He was being helped by a young white English lady at the side of the road. We stopped to assist and were told the asian man had collapsed because of the heat and strain of the walk up the hill. The young lady had called her husband to drive out to pick the man up and take him safely home. We stepped in and said we would drive the man home which we did and made sure he was settled before we left. Just a normal day in Dewsbury where communities look out for each other whatever their race, religion or background. Despite all the poison some politicians, think tanks and media commentators seem to spout on a daily basis the beating heart of my country is decent, inclusive and tolerant and cares for its communities ❤️🇬🇧

Be proud every day!

Tomorrow at Pride in London we’ll send a message to the world: in our city you are free to be whoever you want to be, and love whoever you want to love. We must take a stand against those seeking to roll back hard-won rights.

It’s the last day of #PrideMonth, but we’re not done yet 🏳️‍🌈 Wandsworth Town Hall is lit up in rainbow colours as we stand with LGBTQ+ residents ahead of this weekend’s Pride in London. Learn more about how we marked Pride Month 2025: wandsworth.gov.uk/news/news-may-…

If you’re gay - you’re born that way ❤️ If you’re trans - you’re born that way ❤️ If you’re a bigot - you made that choice.

This is absolutely fantastic from the wonderful @BoyGeorge . Anyone who says he’s not an all-time LGBT+ hero is an IDIOT 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Today, I met with Rev. Mae Christie and local Tooting people who came into Parliament to stand in solidarity with the trans community. At a time of rising transphobia and targeted abuse, I’ll always be an ally.

We are looking to add a few more players to our talented group of U9’s for the 25/26 season 📧 - administration@junctionelite.org

The National Windrush Monument designed by Basil Watson was unveiled at Waterloo Stn in 2022 by Alford Gardener and other #Windrush pioneers. I was proud to be in charge of overseeing and establishing its creation. Happy #WindrushDay but the scandal needs to be resolved urgently

On the 9th anniversary of her killing, all I want is for Jo’s death not to have been in vain. To be remembered as a moment when we realised the dangers of polarisation, extremism & hate. It doesn’t feel like that at the moment- but she wouldn’t want us to give up. #MoreInCommon

I'm Council Culture! #SE18 Big up the South East London massive!

Not to take away from those with honours in any way, but I’m just going to shout out all those who show services to education day in day out & never get recognised for it All my staff for one, lots of heads I know for two, & esp all those 1:1 TAs working with the most vulnerable
