🧵Today marks the 40th anniversary of the Brixton uprising of 1981. It was a three-day rebellion in response to the repressive policing tactics. It was initially sparked by Operation Swamp- a 10-day operation where 1000 people were stop and searched by plainclothes police.

Legal observers like @blkprotestlegal are not participating in protests, they are there to monitor the police to check human rights are being upheld. Arresting them is an attack on our human rights. The police are once again routinely abusing their existing powers. #KillTheBill

For the duration of lockdown, Priti Patel has been eroding our right to protest. Next week they want to pass the #PoliceCrackdownBill which effectively criminalises protestors. It must be opposed. #KillTheBill

Some of the footage circulating online from the vigil in Clapham is upsetting. I have asked the Metropolitan Police for a full report on what happened. My thoughts remain with Sarah’s family and friends at this terrible time.

🤔 Are hostages being held in South Wales Islamic Centre? Would Starmer have made similar statements about ending the siege in a synagogue? This is just wildly Islamophobic and he is bragging about it. Smh

I was grateful to hear from the Muslim community of the South Wales Islamic Centre. I repeated our calls for all hostages to be released, more humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, for the water and power to be switched back on, and a renewed focus on the two state solution.

The good people of #Tottenham , we beg you vote this joker out at the next election. Lammy wrongly justifying the bombing of a refugee camp shows thay he is not fit to represent an refugee or any vulnerable person.

David Lammy just claimed it can be "legally justified" to bomb a refugee camp in Gaza. As a researcher of humanitarianism in the Middle East, can I please note that it is not "legally justified" to bomb a refugee camp? It is, in fact, wholly illegal.

We stand in solidarity with all those whose hearts feel broken from the news of the killing of #GeorgeFloyd , and from hearing that the police have decided to take no further action in the case of #BellyMujinga , out on the streets, or at home.
