    Black Lives Matter's co-founder says she is resigning from its foundation, but not because of what she called right-wing attempts to discredit her.

    Patrisse Cullors said Friday would be her last day at the foundation, which she has led for nearly six years.

    The 37-year-old activist's finances came under scrutiny last month after it was reported she owned four homes.

    Black Lives Matter started as a hashtag in 2013 and has since become a global movement.

    Ms Cullors said she would step down from the Black Lives Matter Global Network to focus on her forthcoming second book, An Abolitionist's Handbook, and a TV development deal with Warner Bros highlighting black stories.

    Last month the New York Post reported that Ms Cullors - a self-described Marxist - had bought a $1.4m luxury home in Topanga Canyon, near Malibu, and owned three other homes, including a custom ranch in Georgia.

    Facebook banned users from sharing the story, citing privacy concerns, and a black journalist said he was locked out of his Twitter account after he posted the article.

    The grieving parents of Michael Brown and Breonna Taylor - two African Americans whose deaths at the hands of white police officers were often cited by Black Lives Matter - last month reportedly complained the organisation had done nothing to help them

    Or you could have posted the end of the article?

    Conservative critics - but also some black activists - called for an investigation into whether Ms Cullors had used the organisation's funds to enrich herself.

    In April the foundation said that Ms Cullors had received $120,000 between 2013 and 2019 for her work.

    The Black Lives Matter Foundation said in a statement: "As a registered 501c3 non-profit organization, [the foundation] cannot and did not commit any organizational resources toward the purchase of personal property by any employee or volunteer.

    "Any insinuation or assertion to the contrary is categorically false."

    It wasn't false. BLM are covering for her because all of the founders have their fingers in the till.

    @A.L.D.O 4.1 swears this isn't true

    The UK oil and gas sector is on the "cusp of transformation" into renewables, according to a new report.

    Aberdeen and Grampian Chamber of Commerce (AGCC) said 75% of contractors surveyed anticipated moving into renewables work over the next three to five years.

    This is the highest level recorded since the question was first asked in 2015, the organisation said.

    The findings came in the 33rd AGCC Oil and Gas Survey.

    The previous survey, published in November, said the UK oil and gas sector was in "economic turmoil" amid the coronavirus pandemic with about a fifth of firms expecting more redundancies in 2021.

    I love how everyone thinks Marxists want everyone but themselves to be poor.

    That's capitalists, actually.

    The Conservative AND Unionist party is flying. There's no little plebs like Owen Jones or Scruff bag Corbyn to hold them back.

    Enjoy the next couple decades being ruled by the Tories <diva>
