CHRISTOPHE DOMEC speaks to CHRIS SMALLS, who helped set up the Amazon Labor Union, on how weak leadership debilitates union activism and dilutes their purpose
IN A week where we learned of a horrific rise in Islamophobic hate crime, Conservative Party politicians were busy pouring fuel onto the fire of this particular form of racism, with neither acknowledgement nor condemnation from Prime Minister Rishi Sunak nor any senior Tory politician on our screens and airwaves this week.
In fact some Conservative politicians doubled down on Islamophobia with Paul Scully MP suggesting that parts of Birmingham and Tower Hamlets have “no-go areas” — an old and inaccurate racist and Islamophobic trope.
We must stand firm against this wave of Islamophobia, unleashed by the shenanigans in Parliament last week, and the abject failure of Rishi Sunak and the Tory leadership.
