Brent Green Party strongly condemns the comments made by Reform MP Sarah Pochin on the depiction of Black and Asian people in advertising as entirely racist and call for her resignation. We support our Brent East MP Dawn Butler in her criticism of Pochin in Parliament.
The Green Party opposes the Labour Party and Dawn Butler MP on many issues and will continue to do so, but we are members of the many communities of Brent, and we find that Sarah Pochin’s remarks were prejudiced, offensive and hurtful. Furthermore, they give encouragement to those political tendencies that seek to encourage hatred and prejudice as a false solution to the political, economic, and ecological problems that we all face.
It is accurate to see such remarks as motivated by racism and we are glad that Dawn Butler made this point in Parliament.
