My essay on Anti-Palestinian Racism is out today as the Leading online article of the Financial Times Magazine. It is a big moment for me as Palestinian woman to speak up about this in such a public way. 🧵 "Coming out as Palestinian" on.ft.com/3vIASGO
“Two dysfunctional countries at war with themselves and the rest of the world, where the ballot box offers the clear choice of something even worse but few options for anything much better” Gary Younge - Small Island nybooks.com/articles/2024/… via @nybooks
Our full lineup for Islay Book Festival 2024, taking place from 29th August - 1st September! #IBF24
"Abbott apologised for her mistake immediately, but 10 months on is still suspended pending investigation. One wonders what more there is to investigate, beyond whether Black women are allowed a second chance & whether issues of MP security apply to them." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
So @UKLabour you'll raise money on the back of the racism directed at @HackneyAbbott even though your party has constantly disparaged and undermined her . But you won't reinstate the whip. Just how cynical can you get? #reinstatethewhip theguardian.com/politics/2024/…
"Sunak may be the first British-Asian prime minister. But when he gives a speech about MPs' security and then keeps Hester's money, that merely describes the ethnicity and job title of the hypocrite. Adding the adjectives does not change the noun.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
"Labour's opportunistic sanctimony is difficult to stomach. This is the definition of instrumentalisation. Racism is not a game. When a party exploits it for its own political advantage, it cheapens the accusation and deepens the cynicism." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
“Black women do not get to make light of the wet or gafffe-making, impulsive remarks or off-colour comments. They do not get to have bad days.” Six years old but wearily relevant. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
On the "Is Hester racist?" question I pass the mic, as ever, to this timeless classic by @jsmooth995 for which I am eternally grateful. youtube.com/watch?v=b0Ti-g…
“We have a commentariat, overwhelmingly from the same social class both as each other and the politicians they cover. Their reference points are limited, their comfort zone is narrow.” Gary Younge on UK journalism pressgazette.co.uk/diversity/gary…
Small Island ' . . .whatever enthusiasm there is in a country facing its fourth general election under its fifth leader in nine years tends to be roused by the Tories losing, not Labour winning.' - @garyyounge nybooks.com/articles/2024/… via @nybooks

@garyyounge Hi @garyyounge In London when Harry Potter Phenomenon 1st took off & always argued importance of reading actual books (not e-readers) to promote work. This AM a lady on train spotted me reading Diaspora took a photo so she could go buy when she got off. @hannahknowl3s @FaberBooks

There’s a Somali saying that the ear is older than the eye (dhegta ayaa ka da’ weyn isha). Through oral tradition we learn about people and places we’ll never see. And in the womb, we hear the outside world before we ever lay eyes on it. So much wisdom in a simple phrase.

Great talk today @ the @bcaheritage w @AniefiokEkp on his book “Where we come from” which is such a necessary read for all U.K. rap aficionados.
Professor @garyyounge recently shared his media and career experience along with his new book; Dispatches From The Diaspora. Young people, professionals and the public attended, asked questions and gave their thoughts on his work. Listen in⬇️ @KindySandhu @CTPSR_Coventry
@AndyBissitt @Andy_Hazel @garyyounge @nybooks Please undo going on.
Don't forget what Toni Morrison said. Racism makes you waste your time. Everyone knows what he said was obscenely racist. But they feign ignorance so we waste our time telling them the obvious. This is entirely intentional
Not sure that Keir Starmer is the best qualified person to talk about treating Dianne Abbott badly
I can think of some other people who managed to balance intense racism with trade with Jamaica, Malaya etc
Amazing stuff. Conservative peer Lord Marland says Frank Hester can't possibly be racist, because he does lots of business in Jamaica
NEW 🧵: American politics is in the midst of a racial realignment. I think this is simultaneously one of the most important social trends in the US today, and one of the most poorly understood.
Sharing some personal news… this Essex barrister (and now NY attorney) is spending the rest of her life with the funniest, kindest, most generous & impressive person she’s ever met… and he also happens to also be a brilliant head and neck surgeon. 😅🫶🏽 #BlackLove
@pressgazette @garyyounge Also, the London factor. Journalists who grew up in regions become enveloped in the bubble of the metropolis; they may maintain connections with "home" but lose their connectedness with place
