The racist and Islamophobic riots we’ve seen across the country are a disgrace. These thugs may be loud but they are few. We stand in solidarity with all communities right now who feel unsafe. We stand with communities across the country as they rebuild.

Was great to hear Paul giving full throated support for the charter and how disability pay gap reporting would be a game changer for disabled workers. Finishing with a key point - Labour’s New Deal for workers cannot come quickly enough. We need it to spearhead radical change.
