Our government has chosen a moment of national crisis to drive a wedge within the working class, framed around the notion of white marginalisation. Our government would have us believe the white working class are held back because of the gains made by minority groups, rather than as the result of decades of underinvestment.

The report from the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities, 3 months overdue and 9 months after the Commission’s inception, is a script that has been written for 10 Downing Street. The people involved in this Commission had no interest in genuinely discussing racism, but even this Government does not go as far as to say that we are post racial. The least the Commission could have done is acknowledge the very real suffering of Black and minority ethnic communities here in the UK.

In the face of adversity, allies come together. It's clear this Commission wants to set race relations back by 20 years - we're not going to let that happen. Stay mobilised, stay engaged, stay positive. In case you missed our event, catch it here.
