But Suella, by your own definition, you are a DEI hire.
The only reason you won a seat in Parliament was that the Conservative Party leadership placed you on their "A-List", a system explicitly designed by David Cameron and George Osborne to bypass local associations and fast-track diverse candidates. You were promoted into influential roles with record speed and framed as the "future of the party" specifically because they wanted a more diverse front bench.
Are you saying it was "anti-white racism" that cleared the path for your career? If you’ve truly realized that DEI is racist, will you be resigning your seat to allow a "qualified white candidate" to take your place, or are you happy to remain Reform’s token stooge? This is racism we are talking about after all and you shouldn't take it lightly.
These are all direct quotes from George Osborne's (David Cameron's Chancellor's) podcast.
1)
"We were very deliberate. We felt the Conservative Party had to look like the country it wanted to govern. If we had just left it to the local associations at the time, we would have ended up with the same type of candidate every time. We had to intervene to ensure we had more women and more people from ethnic minority backgrounds."
2)
"It’s one of the great ironies of the Cameron years. We moved heaven and earth to diversify the candidate list, and now some of the people who came through that process, like Suella (Braverman) and Priti (Patel), are the ones most vocally attacking the very liberal, modernizing project that brought them in."
3)
"It wasn't that we were picking people who weren't good enough. It was that there were brilliant barristers, doctors, and business people who happened to be women or from minority backgrounds who weren't getting a look-in. We just forced the door open for them."
Radical idea but how about we give the best person the job, no matter what colour they are?
Stuff like this is condescending, divisive and breeds resentment. It’s also damaging the game.
We should call DEI what it is: anti-white racism.
