Black History Month – a message from Christine Jardine MP


October is Black History Month, a time to celebrate the contributions of the Black British community and reflect on their stories. This year’s theme, “Reclaiming Narratives,” urges us to challenge historical perceptions and fight ongoing racism and inequality.

Our Women and Equalities Spokesperson Christine Jardine MP reflects on our commitment to racial equality and highlights the challenges that remain:
