Grassroots Black Left slam Johnson’s election win

THE general-election victory for “bigoted liar” Boris Johnson was a win for the far-right, xenophobic Brexit Party which the Conservative Party “has become,” Grassroots Black Left (GBL) has warned.

The group’s co-chairs, councillor Hassan Ahmed and Deborah Hobson, said the PM has “ensured his ‘dog-whistle’ racism against black people, Muslims and migrants has become mainstream.”

In a statement, Mr Ahmed and Ms Hobson applauded the Labour Party for its “progressive manifesto” and commended party leader Jeremy Corbyn’s lifelong anti-imperialism and anti-racism.
