Politicised attacks that demonise and attempt to delegitimise Muslim communities exercising their civic rights and responsibilities must stop, or there will be further escalation of ongoing Islamophobic violence.

Since the results of the Gorton and Denton by-election, we have witnessed a barrage of smears against Muslim people in the UK.
Voting is a fundamental right. Voting according to political interests is entirely ordinary and is how our democratic system is set up.
Refugees do not choose to come here - by definition, they were forced to flee.
Scrapping permanent status will trap refugees in a state of insecurity and fear. This is inhumane cruelty.
Doing so says some people deserve fewer rights - and that inequality is law.

The UK is the only G20 nation to strip citizenship in bulk. Only Kuwait, Bahrain and Nicaragua have stripped more people of citizenship than Britain. These powers must be abolished. Find out more in our report, co-authored with @runnymedetrust.bsky.social

Today, we’re writing to the Prime Minister, calling on the UK Government to abolish citizenship stripping.
Using these extreme powers, the Home Secretary can deprive some British citizens of legal rights simply by saying it is 'conducive to the public good' to do so.

We know that real safety and real justice is delivered in communities.
The home secretary should urgently change direction and instead address unequal outcomes for people of colour in our justice system.
Scrapping juries won’t fix our broken criminal justice system.
Although juries are far from perfect, removing this cornerstone of our legal system places more power in the hands of individual judges, who are more prone to racial bias than a jury of twelve people.
This interim report once again outlines what we have known for years: maternity services continue to fail women of colour and their babies.
Until there is a shift to embed racial equity into health policies, many more women and babies will be harmed and die unnecessarily.
Political leaders need to take responsibility for the racist rhetoric they are enabling.
We need strong leadership that rejects division and makes clear that racism in all its forms is unacceptable.
We need to consider all the racist incidents from the past few days together. These events are not isolated.
As racist violence and rhetoric is increasingly normalised, these are the devastating consequences which people of colour are having to face without adequate protection.

We have a billionaire here, tax avoiding while blaming the poorest for the UK's economic crisis.
Ratcliffe follows a pattern of using false figures to whip up panic and misdirect blame. These comments are an insult to the many migrants - players and staff - who Man U rely on for worldwide success.

A new wave of Chinese, Hong Kong and Malaysian bakeries have cropped up in London and across the UK, following recent trends in immigration as well as increasing numbers of international students.

New @runnymedetrust.bsky.social & @neweconomics.bsky.social report links structural exclusion, debt & colonialism, finding racialised households face “systemic gatekeeping, algorithmic bias & discriminatory treatment” when seeking credit, often pushing people to high-cost lenders.

The idea of ‘earned settlement’ is racist and classist. 📣 So, why are we calling on allies to complete the Government’s ‘Earned Settlement’ consultation?

A formal apology for slavery is important, but risks being merely symbolic.
What's needed is real reparatory justice - redesigning our political and economic systems for the benefit of all.
Our report on #Reparations calls for redistribution, repair and the creation of a renewed alternative.
In 2023-24, the average property income for landlords rose to £19,400, the highest average in 5 years. Meanwhile in 2023, 18.4% of Black British people lived in non-decent homes
Shameful from our govt, protecting landlords instead of fixing our broken housing system. Profits over people once again
Poverty is deepening.
🔎 Our #UKPoverty2026 report was launched this morning.
People in very deep poverty now make up the biggest group of people in poverty, at 6.8 million people.
