The press pursue a Black man to the end of his life and Parliament says nothing about their conduct. Today, I raised the sustained harassment and intrusion Prof Jason Arday was subjected to in the days before his death and asked why Parliament is yet to see a statement on this.

During today’s #PMQs, I asked Rishi Sunak to offer a full & meaningful government apology for Britain's involvement in slavery & colonialism. His reply: "No". The racism people continue to experience today is rooted in these evils. An apology can be a basis for action.

Racism didn’t appear by accident. It was engineered. It is not just about words or attitudes, but material conditions: who owns wealth, who holds power, who has access to housing, healthcare, safety and dignity. To truly tackle racism, we need reparations.

Tomorrow, the United Nations will vote on Ghana's motion to recognise the Transatlantic slave trade as a crime against humanity. Given Britain's central role in this crime, a vote against would be a betrayal of every life consumed by enslavement and colonialism.

I voted against the Immigration & Asylum Bill last night. Forcing asylum seekers to pay £10,000 for safety and shelter is punitive. Asylum is a legal right, not something we should charge for. The Government is heading down the same failed path as the last Tory administration.

It is clear that Israel's ongoing actions in Gaza constitute a genocide. When governments avoid the term genocide, it is not because facts on the ground are unclear. It is because the implications are inconvenient. We must call it what it is and do all we can to stop it.

The British state has never truly apologised for its role in slavery and colonialism. Yesterday, I presented a petition calling for an unequivocal apology and an All-Party Parliamentary Commission for Truth and Reparatory Justice to address these grave crimes and their legacy.

After this week's disclosures, it is concerning that Peter Mandelson still sits in the House of Lords with the Labour Whip whilst colleagues remain suspended for voting in line with their constituents' views. It can't be one rule for some and another for everyone else.

Right-wing politicians and media outlets scapegoat migrants for the consequences of their favoured austerity policies: crumbling public services, rising NHS waiting lists, struggles with school places. These riots show what can happen when they aren't called out on their lies.
