work is also the Prime Minister for his speech criticized, after he told broadcasters that he wanted to "change The Narrative , so that we can stop The Sense of victimisation and discrimination".

Shadow equality Secretary Marsha de Cordova described this as "condescending" and "designed to himself and his government off The Hook ".

Mr Woolley also Said the sentence was "to be honest, unhelpful... unnecessary and partly harmful".

the Liberal Democrat equality spokeswoman, Christine Jardine , Said that The Commission was a "welcome first step", and The Black lives matter protests showed the work had to.

But she added: "His knowledge is not just another report on a shelf in Whitehall , the government must implement without delay. "
