Parts of Jason Arday’s life were ridiculed in the press but now a Byline Times investigation says it has found records, analysis and evidence supporting Jason’s accounts.
This is devastating🧵

Our mosques should not have to look like fortresses because of rising racism in Britain.
More security funding deals with the symptoms of the problem not the root cause.
We need to address rising Islamophobia and the relentless demonisation of Muslims in the media.

🚨 One week only: 50% off my new book on the history of British South Asian political activism.
South Asians were far more than passive victims of racism and colonialism. They organised, resisted, and helped shape history through collective action.

“The UK Maternity System Is ROOTED In RACIST And Patriarchal Practice.”
In Britain, a Black woman asserting her rights in childbirth isn’t called informed, it’s called suspicious, and the knock on the door proves it.

Birmingham City University urged not to axe Black Studies MA and target 5 Black members of staff for redundancy. “In the US there is an attack on Black intellectual thought, in the UK there is so little in higher ed that the problem is erasure" theguardian.com/education/20…

It's wild that I have to do this, but @HeidiBachram clipped 57 seconds of this video to misrepresent me. I use a quote from a conversation with Kurt Vonnegut and Susan Sontag, in which she discusses human behaviour after studying the Holocaust. In that context, I talk about human behaviour and how we can build community in the lead-up to the next general election. In this video, I actually say that reform voters are not devils. Yet due to NOT watching the full video, @RobertJenrick is saying I am comparing reform voters to nazis. Truth matters, folks, even on X.
