Kevin Maguire: "After the attack on the Liverpool football parade & it was a white guy, middle class, former royal marine, no-one went after other white, middle class former marines & set this person represents that entire group"
I'm sorry, but this level of stupidity is off the charts. Badenoch could have brought the socio-economic inequalities duty in the Act into force *when she was literally the equalities minister*. How do people like this get dressed in the morning? How do they remember to drink coffee, not bleach?

Morning.
Ten years after the vote, our economy is battered – and our national conversation darkens by the day. Still, there is reason for hope, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland
