Diverse leadership in politics – job done?
The fact that six of the ten initial candidates who launched formal bids to become leader of the Conservative party, and the next British Prime Minister, have Black or Asian heritage should be welcomed. On the face of it, this is a success story for ethnic diversity within the heart of the British establishment. And not an overnight success either. Most of the candidates have track records in cabinet or high-profile positions and are serious contenders for the role. Looking back to the 2019 contest, when only one of the ten candidates who made it to the MPs vote was from an ethnic minority, or 2016 or 2005 when there were no candidates from ethnic minority groups we could assume that in 2022 we have now levelled the playing field for leadership diversity within the Tory party. But is that true?

Why is the environment a key impact area for inclusion?
‘Greenwashing’ is the overstating or masking effect of climate advocacy, or the understating of a product’s negative impact on the climate. In response to rising popular interest in sustainability, some brands use environmental sustainability buzzwords misleadingly. Consumers are not exclusively purchasing based on price and quality, but are interested in who they are purchasing from. Therefore, positioning a brand or product as ‘green’ can be profitable. A UN group has recently been set up to tackle greenwashing and brands are increasingly being held accountable for their claims.

A recently published report by the UK Home Affairs Committee into racial disparities in policing has found that “serious and deep rooted racial disparities” still exist in policing, over twenty years on from the seminal findings of the McPherson Report, published following the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence and its aftermath. The inquiry set out to examine the progress against Sir William Macpherson’s original recommendations, and concerns that progress had stalled in some key areas of policing. In the words of Baroness Lawrence, the mother of Stephen Lawrence, “things have become stagnant and nothing seems to have moved.”

It was a difficult year, no doubt about it, and for many of us it has tested our collective resilience more than any year in recent memory. Despite this difficulty, though, we were as a society inspired to find incredibly innovative solutions to the various problems we were presented with. Whole industries moved to more flexible ways of working – from home, via video-chat, and with our kids or pets wreaking havoc in the background. We developed new methods for getting our groceries and food deliveries with minimal contact, seriously increased our capabilities to deliver tele-healthcare, and found ways to remain connected to our friends and families despite not being able to see each other physically.
