'I called out the prime minister for what he is – a racist.' DawnButlerBrent
However we are dealing with it and we are getting our house in order and I have said we must implement the Equality and Human Rights Commission recommendations in full.
Sadly, the Tories are governing the country, which means they must set the highest of examples – yet Johnson and those defending him have failed this test with their own behaviour.It was only weeks ago that a woman in the audience on Question Time was given a platform to air factually wrong and uncomfortably racist information. Since then she has been exposed as a supporter of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, otherwise known by his stage name, Tommy Robinson.
This is also the case when it comes to basic fact checking. In the same segment last week I had to correct a presenter that told me Jeremy Corbyn is being investigated by the EHRC, which he isn’t. I also pointed out that the EHRC is in fact bringing a legal challenge against Health Secretary Matt Hancock.
Last week’s appearance on BBC Politics Live wasn’t the first time this has happened either. In 2018 I appeared on TV with Conservative politician Liam Fox during election night.
