Hilarious how all these people think a cabinet minister should resign simply because of his catastrophic failures in that job. #alevels

Don’t say wild
No, I didn't expect him to call for the defunding of the police. I did expect this to be a week in which he acknowledged the issue of institutional racism within an organisation, given that he has recently been praised for doing just that in his own party.

For Keir Starmer to restate his strong support for the police in the same week two of them felt comfy enough to share selfies next to two dead black women - for that to be his instinct, the tone and the timing of his words - I have no fitting words of my own.

‘Organisational issues’

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer tells #BBCBreakfast it’s "a shame" the sentiment behind the Black Lives Matter movement is getting “tangled up with these organisational issues" and it’s "nonsense" to call to ‘Defund the Police’.
Extremely good news for the scene @JeansAndSheux

The CEO of Café Nero has emailed every member of staff directly to let them know that if they ever suffer from any type of prejudice in the work place, to bypass HR and email him directly. Swap your Starbucks for Café Nero 👏🏼

DRIVER: So you stopped me because I am back? POLICE OFFICER: Yeah...but not because I’m racist. The FULL VIDEO (rpdtly from Cambridgeshire) is really important viewing as it shows explicitly how many white people don’t actually understand what racism is.

This is how the police think they can treat a 62 year old black man in Tottenham but this 1 happens to be my dad #Nojusticenopeace

Genuinely interesting to think about how useful #police are. Can’t think of a time they’ve helped me personally. Years ago reported getting jumped and beaten the shit out of by strangers in broad daylight in front of several passers by- they couldn’t have been less interested.

The reason we don’t all get randomly beaten up on the street all the time is definitely not because anyone’s worried about the police finding out.
The tearing down of the Colston statue - a Bristol slave trader - during the #BLM protests today raises many questions. Like, did you see the bit where they threw it in the river? xitter.cf/sellottie/status/12696…
