Says she doesn't want to debate if her mixed-race children are English. "We must not let these people take us backwards." This is a very welcome section, which wins a standing ovation. 823024

Very low bar but a lot of right-wing politicians can't clear it. It's a Rees-Mogg versus Tucker Carlson scenario. Of course she may well end up making a deal with Reform anyway. 4517

Yes some people questioned whether those players were English but there was a pretty strong consensus at time that the people who did so were racists. The point isn't there wasn't racism (there def was). It's more society didn't say "and that's acceptable" 6605
