Foreign Secretary David Lammy has been accused of playing the race card already.
In a video posted today he starts with: "It is the honour of my life to stand before you as Foreign Secretary, a descendant of enslaved people..."
It is the honour of my life to stand before you as Foreign Secretary, a descendant of enslaved people, a black working class man from Tottenham, a community which has never produced a Foreign Secretary before. This speaks to what a modern multicultural Britain can be, proudly internationalist, determined to deliver for working people, and committed to building a better future for us all.
