"I think it actually rips up something that goes to who we are as a country because I believe passionately that to be tolerant, compassionate and diverse is what it is to be British and this year's that up."
Reform UK pledged to repeal the Equalities Act and abolish the equalities minister role, with Suella Braverman saying the country was being "ripped apart by diversity, equality and inclusion", "tokenism" and "victimhood". Nigel Farage said proposed changes would involve "getting rid of the pernicious, divisive notion of protected characteristics" while still protecting people in the workplace. The Equalities Act 2010 provides legal protections against discrimination on grounds including gender, sexuality, race, religion and disability. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the pledge "shocking", described the laws as "core" British values that have given "decades of protection", and referenced allegations of a "Boy's Club" linked to Morgan McSweeney.
