Yesterday for the first time I heard a senior white male leader say out loud what I suspect many think and believe, β€œif we give blacks some of our power, we will have less”. And there we have it, the answer as to why every initiative to improve race equality fails.

The wonderful thing about @KamalaHarris and @MichelleObama isn’t just the colour of their skin, it’s their integrity, their morals and their graciousness. Maybe one day the UK will have women of colour in senior positions with those values. We can but hope. #BidenHarris2020

Woke up to the news that some public sector nurses have been awarded an above inflation pay rise but NOT nurses. After all our nurses have done during #Covid19 how can this government not reward them too. It’s deeply offensive. How do these people sleep at night?

And by the way @bbcquestiontime Donna Kinnair, general secretary of @theRCN is a dame, can you please show her proper title in future. Goodness knows she’s earned it.

Boy is it it refreshing to hear an #NHS National Director talk about microaggressions, race and the importance of #BME staff raising their voices on this issue. Go ⁦ @Prerana_Issar ⁩ ⁦ @WRES_team ⁩

A shout out to #NHS CEOs. Speaking to one yesterday made me realise how hard their job is and what a heavy burden of responsibility they carry. It’s been a hard couple of years with no respite insight. We look to our leaders for support but who supports the leaders?

@hxllywilliams @joan_myers Recognise a pattern here? Ignorant, arrogant, old white media men @Schofe @piersmorgan @EamonnHolmes using their privileged positions on the airwaves to question the reality of an unfair and inequitable UK society. #RacismStillAlive kicking and thriving in these men.

For those of you that have asked me for the @ProfKevinFenton formula for increasing trust. It’s truth x consistency x time = trust. Kevin assures me that it works every time. @NHS_RHO @DrHNaqvi @CNagpaul @TeamCMidO @NHSEnglandLDN Brilliant.

Did you know that from April 2020 under standard contract rules the NHS will be able to bar non emergency patients that inflict discriminatory or harassing behaviour on staff. Happy days. #WRES

Less likely to be appointed, more likely to be stopped by police, more likely to die in childbirth, covid and other long term diseases. More likely to be incarcerated, less likely to get higher level degrees. Am I angry? too right. @owenchinembiri

Black women 40x more likely to miscarry than their white counterparts regardless of socio economic status. And we know why? Its living in a country that systematically & consistently discriminates against them. The phenomenon is called biological weathering, Racism kills
