Heart-rending to watch. We owe Richard and the rest of the Windrush generation so much more. Despite their immense sacrifice and contribution to this country, many are still without justice.

PM spokeswoman still refusing to say Frank Hester's alleged comment was racist - only 'unacceptable'

When I asked what message this sends to Black communities, she said broadly: '[The PM] is clear there's no place for racism in this county.'

Why doesn't he call it out then?🤑
