    In Johannesburg a movement of socialites are encouraging women to reject 'broke' men and date rich but beneath the glamour are they leading young girls to be sex trafficked? For @UnreportedWorld we went to Jo'berg to meet South Africa's 'Slay Queens'

    This week the PM cancelled the HS2 from London to Manchester that would reduce overcrowding. Today I’m on a train for Manchester with the driver refusing to depart as “it’s unsafe” due to overcapacity. “The trains going nowhere until passengers leave” he says.

    Two weeks ago there were 500,000 people on this street without police clashes of this nature. Following the Home Secretary's words this is how the far-right groups here to 'defend' the cenotaph are showing 'respect' for the Armistice.
    Fighting has broken out as people shouting ‘England ‘till I die’ attempted to reach the Cenotaph 👇

    Another fund to help black students at Oxbridge only? Those unis have a combined endowment of £13bn, the black students enrolled already had the capital (social or economic) to get in and their graduate prospects are second to none. Elitism in the name of equality again.

    The Govt’s response to BLM was that black Britons were over sensitive, racial inequality wasn’t the product of racism, institutional anti-blackness wasn’t real, anti-racism training should be curtailed and that it was fine to boo black footballers taking the knee in solidarity..
    Oliver Dowden tells @SkyNews: "I'm a bit disappointed that if you look at the moral indignation after the murder of George Floyd in the US with the Black Lives Matter movement, we haven't seen across civic society the same kind of moral clarity that Jewish lives matter."

    The reported suspect’s family are from a country where 93% identify as Christian... So why didn’t the ‘protestors’ pull up to the Anglican or Catholic Church?
    🚨 BREAKING: The protest in Southport is turning into a riot. We've seen bricks thrown through the local mosque's window and a police van is burning. Several people - including officers - have been hurt. People are shouting at the police for protecting "disgusting nonces".

    30 years before the holocaust Germany set up concentration camps in Namibia and exterminated up to 100,000 of the Herero and Namaqua people. In the 120th anniversary year the President of Namibia condemns Germany for learning nothing from its past by 'supporting genocide in Gaza'
    Namibia rejects Germany’s Support of the Genocidal Intent of the Racist Israeli State against Innocent Civilians in Gaza On Namibian soil, #Germany committed the first genocide of the 20th century in 1904-1908, in which tens of thousands of innocent Namibians died in the most

    Replying to @SteveMacey1985
    If death threats, mock ups of gorillas and multiple police arrests count as “no one saw race three years ago” then please retire your parliamentary and “policy consultant” ambitions because evidence based decision making isn’t something you have the ability to do.

    Very honoured to feature on @jonsnowC4 finale. Everything everyone has tweeted tonight is true. It’s en vogue to proclaim ‘use your privilege’ but Jon did before it was cool. Holding his peers in the establishment to the fire. This evening is for real Gs only. Long live the king.
