Jon Ashworth MP, Labour’s shadow Cabinet Office minister, responding to Damian Green’s admission that the Conservative Party is preforming “appallingly” among minority ethnic voters, said:
“Even David Cameron’s Ministers know that he has failed to modernise the Conservative Party. The Tories remain out of touch with modern Britain and stand up for the wrong people.
“David Cameron’s policies such as cutting taxes for millionaires while supporting the hated bedroom tax show that he doesn’t share the values or priorities of ordinary British families.
“Britain’s strength is its diversity, and yet David Cameron’s Conservatives stand up for just a privileged few.”
