Equalities Minister Liz Truss has condemned the woke left’s focus on “fashionable” issues of race and gender, and called on the government to fight poverty instead. The liberal press, however, hounded Truss for her heresy.
Speaking at the Centre for Policy Studies think tank on Thursday, Truss declared that the debate in the UK over discrimination should not focus on “fashionable” issues of race, gender and sexual orientation. Instead, she said the government would focus on the “real concerns” of poverty, class division and income inequality between the north and south of the UK.
