The way Black & Brown Tories choose maximum public distress when engaged on racism is a disgrace. Priti Patel crying that she’s being “silenced” by BAME Labour MPs. Bim Afolami crying about his right to attend Eton. Kemi Banedoch crying over a black journalist doing her job.

The projected optics is intentional - to entrench a class of ethnic minorities who are victimised “within” their broader ethnic groups, or allegedly disciplined with “groupthink” and “critical race theory”, simply because they’ve been made to answer for their complicity.

All these black and brown tory MPs are always claiming “the left” make ethnic minorities their chosen victims but one challenging email or tough question and they’re crying murder on the timeline about how they’re under attack
