It’s much much harder now to be an anti racist than it is to be a racist. That’s one of the things I learned from talking to Rachel Marsh, who has been doxxed and abused for standing up to the far right. www.thenerve.news/p/rachel-mar...

🚨 Hundreds of NHS staff a year are being investigated for sexual misconduct with many allowed back to work even after being found guilty. Now Britain's top surgeon says enough is enough and a radical overhaul is needed to protect staff & patients: www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...
