The government’s race review has come under intense criticism over claims that it whitewashes examples of racism in the UK and seeks to ‘put a positive spin on slavery’ and the British Empire
thetimes.co.uk/article/anger-…

In autumn last year, Boris Johnson chose to follow the advice of his chancellor over that of key scientists - at great cost. thetimes.co.uk/article/rishi-…
In mid-August pf 2020, as positive tests had risen to more than a thousand a day, The Commons all-party coronavirus group wrote directly to the prime minister.
