1/4 Today I was attacked in Parliament by #LizTruss. Tho she can read a script, she misrepresents the point of my Guardian interview. Specifically, I argue that this Gov is intentionally driving a wedge between White working class & BAME working class. It's classic #DivideAndRule2/4 Faced with the Gov's Divide & Rule tactics, I argue for working class #solidarity. Revealingly, Truss resorts to her dogwhistle politics & suggests instead that I stand for some kind of BAME #exceptionalism - a unilateral claim by Black people on the right to be oppressed!
