The disproportionate and bullying commentary and coverage of Jason Arday’s mistakes has been obviously dangerous for days. Yes it was a legitimate story, and in various ways a troubling one. But the relentless coverage, the vitriol and bile. The clip of a man talking about us needing more love in the world endlessly mocked. Compare it to the way others who embellished and invented life stories or floated seemingly naive ideas are forgiven. Obviously employers have duties of care. But spare us the pity of those who weaponised his story for social media clicks without a thought.

We urgently need leadership to help articulate the best of our country- not to let others to define it at its worst. The lack of a proper response to the racist riots last year, the silence now, the lack of a cohesion strategy - it isn’t good enough.

Beautiful ❤️❤️
Over the next weeks we're going to see a lot more noise from racist protests egged on by reckless politicians.
Remember, this is what our country really looks like, the one the media never shows us:

Almost all young asylum seekers struggle with the asylum process, and some find it traumatising, research by @londoncouncils has shown: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gd…

Today marks 30 years since the Srebrenica genocide, when 8,372 Bosniak men and boys were murdered for their identity. We remember the victims, honour survivors, and commit to stand against hatred, denial & division.

People seeking safety in the UK must be supported in our communities, not in accommodation centres like Wethersfield that harm their health and wellbeing. Thanks to @MSF_uk for their excellent work supporting people surviving there & this report on alternative approaches needed.
🔴 We once again call on the UK Government to urgently close Wethersfield and abandon its policy of mass containment for people seeking safety.
Our report with @DOTW_UK documents the immense harm caused by the site ⬇️

If Labour could do one thing; stop the politics of hatred, stop weaponising diversity. In every area of the UK our communities are more divided than ever, people are so angry. Labour can only address this by investing in people, investing in communities, valuing everyone.

Good to see Govt moving thanks to pressure, but the key question is whether the nuisance rough sleeping proposals have been removed completely. People sleeping rough are not a nuisance and shouldn't be targeted as such. telegraph.co.uk/politics/202…
