I have today written to @sajidjavid about the compensation scheme for victims of the Windrush scandal. I have demanded urgent action to ensure that all those who have suffered for so long get the compensation they deserve.

Britain stopped deporting criminals in 1868, David Lammy told The Guardian. “forced repatriation is a scandal & to re-start it before compensation for Home Office abuses is an insult to #windrush victims who have been falsely deported by their own government #weareallwindrush 👊🏽
Today’s #GoogleDoodle is a #spotlight on trailblazer Connie Mark, who served in the women’s branch of the British army in Jamaica during #WW2
In the UK she was an activist, promoted Caribbean culture & ensured women & POCs who contributed to the war received equal recognition
"We were British! England was our mother country. We were brought up to respect the royal family. We didn't grow up with any Jamaican thing. We grew up as British" - Connie Mark
