Dawn Butler, Labour's new Shadow Secretary of State for Black, Ethnic and Minority communities, seemed unsure about whether the Jewish community counted as a minority community as part of her brief, in an interview with Emma Barnett on �鶹�� 5 live. At the start of the interview, she was asked, “Does the Jewish community form part of your brief under that umbrella of minorities?” She replied, “Yes, I hope so”, and when pressed further, continued: “As you know, It's a new brief, so we are still kind of looking at what it will include in its entirety.” At a later point in the interview, she confirmed that she would be talking to the Jewish community about their concerns about anti-Semitism in the party. She also said: “It's really important that we have robust systems in place, so that when somebody highlights, makes a complaint, raises issues or queries around racism and anti-semitism and sexism and all of the ‘isms’, that it's taken seriously and it's acted upon as swiftly as possible. “The Labour Party hasn't been doing that effectively to date. It's important that that's reviewed.” This clip is originally from 5 live Daily broadcast on 7 October 2016.
