- After Tory Peer Baroness Sayeeda Warsi told LBC this week that the Home Secretary is using racist rhetoric, James O'Brien says that if it were a white Home Secretary making the comments Suella Braverman has, he would have criticised her "much harder".

The ethnicity of the last two home secretaries is not coincidental.
So, I'm a white male from what I think is a fairly average background. I'm confused by this issue a little. What I find really strange is that the Conservative party front bench looks very diverse but acts like a white supremacy gang
On the surface, racism is about skin colour. But deep down it's about the colour of their/your heart.
He accidently wore a Britain first t-shirt but that does not explain why he owned it and they do not seem to be mentioning that the council asked them to take them down years ago and they refused to take them down. Then add in that they are hanging from their necks. I bet if people started to send them to Braverman she would soon have the police involved. There has been a long standing problem with historically immigrant families 'Pulling up the ladder' after themselves wen it comes to new immigrants.
No wonder the Kenyans and Ugandans didn't want her
Yes, and if we don't stand up to her which group will she come for next.
Reminds me of those people who were bullied at school by a gang of kids, then somehow were offered a (low) place in the gang, on the understanding that they would join in with the bullying of the next kid.
Baroness Warsi has done everyone a great service by speaking out like this from the position she holds. She truly is my hero of the week
Well done to Baroness Sayeeda Warsi for licensing the rightful consideration of the racism being described for I was wondering what was causing the punditry to stay so silent on the matter, when nothing has caused them to be so silent before.
Certainly some of the language from Patel and Braverman would not have been out of place at a 1970s NF rally!
Drawbridge mentality. Now that I've arrived, lower the bridge so more of me can't come.
P.O.C have always known and experienced this phenomena. In Britain they call such people coconuts brown on the outside and white inside. Meaning they advance in society through an internalization of the dominant in this case white ideology. These individuals don't identity with the struggles of other POC rather the see themselves as the model immigrant and inherently superior. The PM is Hindu and comes from a context that rigidly maintains the caste system. I don't think he will lose much sleep over policies that exacerbate the situation of the marginalized and vulnerable in society.
For me it is simple. Just listen to what they say. Remember when TMay said 'Citizens of Nowhere'. That told me she/conservatives didn't consider me a citizen because I didn't agree with them.
Shes proof that the movie Get Out was more documentary than fiction
Baroness Warsis' description of Suella Braverman being a "Trump Tribute Act" just nailed it for me.
Absolutely right. As a brown person I agree with you 100%. If the same statement was made by a white fellow.. the entire media would have gone crazy. And I do agree that no one should make such hateful statement
Baroness Warsi has proved herself a totally courageous person. If she was prime minister there would still be hope
Braverman is a dangerous combination of thick, deluded, overtly ambitious and I am going to say, she's an utter sociopath and she will say whatever needs to be said to appeal to her core base.
Our home sectary could not even answer the Sir Mo Farah question.
No one should be protected from criticism because of their skin colour or race. The Rwanda plan is cruel and no one will stop me saying it.
