This Tory Government is presiding over a policing system which still discriminates against black people – Diane Abbott

Diane Abbott MP, Labour’s Shadow Home
Secretary, speaking in response to the release of Home office data, said:

“This serious
discrimination is widespread. It is unacceptable that the Home Office’s own
report states that the level of discrimination is little changed from previous
years.

“The Prime Minister says she wants
to tackle burning injustices. But this Tory Government is presiding over a
policing system which still discriminates against black people. Warm words are
not enough. It is long past time that the government acted to address these
unacceptable disparities.”
