6/11/20261 hr 2 min

Riots, attacks, police snafus – they can't all be solely the fault of one bit of equalities guidance, can they? Well, if you've listened to Kemi Badenoch, you might be beginning to wonder. Her latest foray into the world of identity politics sees her wanting to scrap the Public Sector Equality Duty as the opening move in a mission to 'restore common sense'. Because, apparently the UK is so post-racial- tension it does not need such rules any longer. And yet, to look at what Claire Hanna MP described as "race-based pogroms" in Belfast this week, would suggest that we are not as evolved as the LoTO suggests quite yet.

  8. Naomi Smith· Host0:55

    This week, the rights and wrongs of how we treat others. From the riots in Belfast to Kemi Badenoch's big equality speech, the country feels on a precipice. There is a choice to be made on whether we respond to current global chaos with unity or we allow politicians to divide us.
