As we have said time and again, when we permit punitive deprivation of welfare & allow harsh treatment towards one group (migrants/people seeking asylum), we enable the slow but certain creep of that deprivation to others. Statement on the spring budget: www.linkedin.com/posts/runnym...

Our new report with the @healthfoundation.bsky.social shows how structural racism operates across our labour market, housing systems and the lived environment, limiting a person’s opportunity to be healthy. Read it here 👇 www.runnymedetrust.org/publications/how-racism-affects-health

How racism affects health

My blog about a recent trip to Liverpool. Community cohesion narratives and £600k grants, in face of mainstreamed racism & £500m austerity cuts - most ppl on the ground can see through insincere and plaster fixes to systemic probs and political choices. www.runnymedetrust.org/blog/another...

We are constantly encouraged to engage in this fake turf war about 'class' or 'race'- the two are so often deeply entangled:

When the number of school nurses, youth workers & other non-educational support (inc counsellors) in schools is dropping, but police in schools are either fixed or increasing - we have a problem. Education should not involve criminalisation. @gardencourtlaw.bsky.social @runnymedetrust.bsky.social

Proud to have published this report yday, but deeply worried that not only is this necessary 27 years after @runnymedetrust.bsky.social first published a report coining the term Islamophobia, but that things seem to be worsening.
