Diane Abbott: “There cannot be any doubt that Dr Arday’s tragic death was the direct, foreseeable and foreseen result of press…”

Self-regulation of the press has comprehensively failed.

We respectfully ask you to commission an immediate public inquiry into how to ensure a responsible press given its contribution to Dr Arday’s tragic death.

We need to be talking about the contribution that immigrants and asylum seekers have made to this country, not talking about them as if they are some kind of burden.

Black people are fearful and on the evidence they are right to be.
