The Tories are showing Labour how it’s done on diversity

The elephant isn’t just in the room. It is trumpeting loudly but it is greeted with bemusement, denial, or polite silence.

I am talking about the Tory leadership race which is full of what the renowned fox-killer now apparently calls ‘brown’ people and those other odd chaps, called women. The Tories can always claim the first ethnic minority PM in Disraeli who was Jewish but they don’t make a song and dance about it.

Jollyon Morn has now deleted his so-called anti-racist tweet perhaps because it was in fact a teensy bit racist, was it not, to suggest that all ‘brown’ people must cleave to the political position of his choosing i.e. Labour?

Is it possible that we end up with the next Prime Minister actually being the third Conservative woman PM? Or more likely, the first, to put it in the correct terminology ‘BAME PM’ – Sunak, Javid, Braverman, Zahawi and Badenoch are in the running.
