Coverage @guardian focusing on "culture of open debate, where taking of offence not used as means to prevent those who do wish to debate from doing so”: Shahrar Ali’s selection as spokesperson was behind former co-leader Siân Berry’s decision to step down theguardian.com/politics/2021/…
Ali, a former party deputy leader, said: “It’s a very difficult debate to have reasonably, calmly and thoughtfully, and that’s all I’ve ever done and sought to do."
“In any arena of equalities, if you’ve got a group of people who feel they are affected by claims of another group of people, that requires negotiation."
"And in order to negotiate you need to debate, and tease out and interrogate other people’s assumptions, if only to work out that there’s [any] misunderstanding."
