Leader commits a future Labour government to eradicating structural racism in the UK
Keir Starmer has vowed to introduce a race equality act to address inequalities exposed by the coronavirus pandemic on the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder, as vigils are held across the UK to mourn his death.
The Labour leader said that eradicating structural racism will be a “defining cause” for the next Labour government, along with shadow cabinet ministers David Lammy and Marsha De Cordova.
