Ah, so that’s why the SNP was front of Burnham’s mind. His big social care offer is something that the SNP has led the way on and delivered in Scotland. You wouldn’t know that from his speech, however.

What absolute cheek and brass neck for Holly Bruce from the Green Party to play the race card and attempt to claim the moral high ground. Let me be very clear: I sat on the Equalities Committee for the majority of my time as an MSP, and I speak not only as a former MSP who witnessed these issues first-hand, but as a woman of colour. During my time on that committee, I saw very little evidence of the Greens supporting my recommendations around properly collecting statistics and information relating to race and inequality. In fact, I witnessed on numerous occasions people of colour being reluctant and in some cases genuinely fearful about coming forward to give evidence to committees because of the political atmosphere and the way they felt they would be treated. So please, spare me the sudden lectures about equality, protecting women and girls, and standing up for people of colour. I am frankly fed up with hearing the Greens wrap themselves in the language of equality and protection when, from my own experience, the reality behind the public statements can be very different. You cannot claim the moral high ground on race and equality simply because it suits the argument you are making today. I was there. I witnessed it first-hand. And as a woman of colour who served on the Equalities Committee, I will not be lectured on these issues by people whose actions I saw for myself. Enough of the empty words and performative politics. 😡
