Today, at 11am, Parliament held a minute's silence in memory of George Floyd.
He must not become just another name. His death must be a catalyst for change.
The Labour Party stands with those opposing racism and oppression in the UK and across the world.
So hang on, even though George Floyd was nothing to do with Britain, left-wing politicians used his death to push for changes here.
But Nigel Farage talking about Henry Nowak, a Brit who died in Britain is “exploiting it and fuelling division”?
One rule for them it seems.
