"It's not enough to stand on the sidelines"

In a landmark week in the fight for racial equality, Trevor Phillips, writer and former chairman of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, joins Christopher Hope to talk about the reaction here and across the pond to the tragic death of George Floyd. He tells Chris why you should challenge your racist relatives, and why social media support just isn't enough.

Plus former Leader of the Commons, Andrea Leadsom tells us why she'd be happy to end virtual voting, David Staples from the Freemasons on why the group is about much more than funny handshakes, and Lord Digby Jones on why a new royal yacht would be just the ticket for boosting national morale.
