CAMPAIGNERS have vowed “not to take the pressure off” the government’s racist policies following news that deportation flights will not take place before the elections.

Speaking at a Stand Up To Racism (SUTR) fringe at the FBU conference in Blackpool, SUTR national officer Nahella Ashraf warned that with neither party having an answer to ease the cost-of-living crisis, “the only thing they’re going to fight on is how racist they can be.”

As shock raids continue to take place across the country, Ms Ashraf said: “The fear it has created in people who have just come here, having already gone through trauma, is horrific.”
