The announcement of the sale of The Observer to Tortoise Media is a grim end to a shaming episode for the Scott Trust.🧵

CW: domestic violence. Poem from my recent collection Panic Response about my chemistry teacher, Avril Brown, who was very kind to me and who deserves to keep shining. (Been talking about her owing to the misogynistic killings in Bushey, which is where she taught me.)

🚨 NEW: Labour will DELAY recognition of a Palestinian state, out of concern it might upset the USA. Starmer will reportedly "delay recognition of a Palestinian state" as "it could undermine Britain’s special relationship" with the United States. (Via The Times)

@RishiSunak says he is hurt & angry at @reformparty_uk activist using racist language. How did he think I felt when his top donor Frank Hester said I “made him want to hate all Black women' and I should be shot?

Seven days before the election, the government has postponed the release of statistics showing the catastrophic state of the backlogs in the criminal courts. Perfectly above board, I’m sure.

It’s Windrush Day. Sixty-nine years ago Sidney McFarlane arrived in Dover from Jamaica. Now he’s back, with an important message for Sunak and Starmer
Apala Chowdhury retweeted
Even the BBC now gets that Brexit is a disaster and then it goes over to Starmer still too terrified to utter a single word against it.
