Boris says UK isn't racist. But nobody who is overtly & publicly racist qualifies to make such a statement. Same way a mugger doesn't qualify to lecture people on how safe alleyways are at night. And how is comparing Muslim women to letterboxes & calling Africans piccaninnies

I didn't do #BlackoutTuesday. I spent the day delivering #Kindness and #wellness creative writing workshops to two mental health groups and an arts administrator collective. It is a six week project, the only work… instagram.com/p/CA-ncBDnJTc/…
Shame on the UK government @BorisJohnson

As always, Bangers and Mash is awesome, great music, brilliant and inciteful features and I also chat to Byron this episode. Sorry about my swearing. I'm more about communication than manners, apparently.
EP 6 OF BANGERS & MASH IS HERE and I’m chuffed to bits to announce that we are now a @weareunltd #UnlimitedCommission and #ACEsupported #artscouncil. I chat to @andy_c_g about authenticity altruism and mental health. Contains gratuitous swears. soundcloud.com/byron-vincent…

Clapping is good. Voting is better.
Thanks for the #clapforNHS but after a decade of voting for a party who always stripped the NHS and tried to sell us off, it seems to be a bit of an empty gesture. Please vote in the future for a party who supports the NHS, if you mean that clap seriously

Unprecedented times, unprecedented uncertainty, unprecedented repetition of the word unprecedented that makes it seem like a not-a-word-anymore. Like saying spoon over and over. Unprecedented. UnPressidented? unperassidoontooo, unpersondented levels of cabin fever
A lot of people do know what we've already missed out on. We need more truly decent people in power. Compassion and empathy should be the highest qualifications
It was Dad's last PMQs as Labour leader today. People will never know how close we came to having a truly decent man, who would've looked out for every single one of us, in the top job and the possibilites for a better world that would have come with it.
This surely has to be soon on the government's agenda. 5 million workers who also need to be helped
The government's measures would leave five million self-employed and gig economy workers with just £94.25 a week sick pay. This is simply not enough. Those without a fixed wage must not be left to suffer.
Andy CravenGriffiths retweeted
We urge the Chancellor @RishiSunak to set out plans to support the incomes of the self-employed and freelancers, and to raise the level of Statutory Sick Pay to a level that people can live on.
