Tentative trial dates set for four teens charged with murder | SaltWire #newsupdate #halifax #courtCARDIFF, Wales - When he took office as First Minister of Wales in March, Vaughan Gething became the first Black head of government in Europe - yet he believes UK society is more overtly racist than a decade ago.
"The fact that it has happened at scale and in countries with lower diversity, such as Wales, a further sense that this is a norm across our politics," said Sunder Katwala, director of think tank British Futures. The next parliament, after a vote expected later this year, will be the"most diverse ever", British Futures predicts, with 12% of lawmakers from ethnic minority background compared to 16% of the general population.
Race-related hate crimes recorded by police in England and Wales have risen 43% in the five years to 2023. Gething said Wales' relatively high racial inequalities on poverty reflected bigger class divides. He wants to grow the economy, particularly around the renewable energy industry, to put more money into public services, and to review the"anti-racist Wales action plan" launched in 2022.
