LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer called on Boris Johnson today to “turbocharge” his response to racial inequality in Britain after waves of Black Lives Matter protests took place around the world.

During Prime Minister’s questions, he said that there had been at least seven reports on racial inequality in the last three years, all ignored by successive Tory governments.

Mr Starmer added that most of the 35 recommendations in the Lammy review had not yet been implemented, three years after its final report was published.
