After cops tackled & arrested me, & after I identified myself as a journalist, they refused to give me my phone, leaving it on the street. Later that night another journalist found my phone. Turned out it was recording while cops pressed my head into the concrete & cursed at me

This is Mohammed Nehman. A bus driver in the UK, deemed "one of the city's best". He worked amid this Corona pandemic to help other key workers get to work. Risking his own life so others can bring food to the table. He contracted COVID-19 and lost his battle. KNOW HIS NAME 😭

To the anonymous Labour party member who wrote on their ballot paper that a working class, northern, black Oxford grad and MBE, is a "terrible choice" for the unpaid post of Manchester City Labour Party Women's Officer. 😅 Quite frankly mate, you're lucky to have me.
