As part of its investigations into the death of an employee who was driven to his death by journalists, I'd suggest Cambridge University scrutinises *all* its professors' CVs and online biography claims

3. We can all have debates about what the Arday case means. But right now all I see is a dead human being, the people who set out to destroy him and the journalists who attacked him like a pack of wolves, the Guardian among them

2. In his last voice message to me, Jason suggested he could not survive the media abuse. I'll be offering his messages as evidence that journalists drove him to his death If a White academic is accused of exaggerating their CV, it's not a public interest story. If you're Black then God help you.

They absolutely destroyed him. I don't know if those journalists have any idea what it's like to be on the receiving end of what they write. I know the press complaints system in the UK is a teaspoon to a tidal wave but it's all we've got. Please please take action here newscord.org/action/jason...

newscord.org

The Mail printed a psychiatrist's guess at Jason Arday's mind. Hours later he was found dead.

A diagnosis-shaped headline at 1:01am on the day he died. His childhood disability interrogated one minute before the ambulance call. A mockery column deleted without a word. File five IPSO complaints...

Important to add that Green voters in Birmingham - Greens gained the biggest *vote share* even if this didn't translate to seats - will expect any new administration to uphold the principles of equality and anti-racism in every decision the council now makes

And Labour is under orders from above not to work with the Greens in the UK's biggest council,having failed on so many levels to deliver for Brummies, now helping deprive us of a functional council. So much desperately needs to be done & could be done. I hope the other parties can find common ground
