Journalists, I am begging you, please do not rile up the racist football fans with your coverage tomorrow. Be aware of the weight of your words.

Inequality:
• UK hourly minimum wage in 1998: £3.60
• UK hourly minimum wage in 2020: £8.72
But....
• Highest UK pay packet in 1998: £0.63m
• Highest UK pay packet in in 2021: £421m
We need a wealth tax & a real living wage.

This 4th of July I’m grateful to be part of @netflix We the People, a musical series on civics by @barackobama & @michelleobama . It’s amazing to see my poem The Miracle of Morning as an animated short. Hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it. 🇺🇸🎆🎇

Football fans are parading naked in the streets of London and causing utter chaos and destruction. Pride events constantly get attacked for not being ‘kid friendly’ but they get to act like hooligans with little or no police intervention. The hypocrisy and double standards stink.

Aged 12, I did an experiment.😈
I got 3 white friends (worse academic/detention records than me) to untuck their shirts, pull down their ties & undo their top buttons while queuing to be let into lunch.
I undid one button.
The teacher only stopped me.
I laughed.

The truth is that this government fails pupils across the board. They also have no significant proposals to fundamentally alter that. Instead their attack on the term white privilege is designed to cause division. This is the politics of divide and rule applied to education.
