David Lammy criticized comments made by Reform UK's Sarah Pochin, labeling them as 'racist' and belonging to the 'dark ages.' This statement comes during a time when the UK is grappling with issues of race and equality, highlighting the ongoing need for progress in societal attitudes. Lammy's remarks resonate with many who are advocating for a more inclusive and respectful discourse in politics, especially in light of recent violent incidents in Huntingdon and Peterborough.
