They even said that "you're not doing your cause any favours". Tackling racism shouldn't be conditional on tone or reliant on favours.

When our government refuses to adopt the APPG on Islamophobia's definition, it is political. This argument is used as an excuse not to act.
3) Minister Kemi Badenoch started her speech by bringing up the terrorist that murdered Sir David Amess. This is appalling beyond words.
