00:00 It's important, as I've said, to engage with the Muslim community and talk about their concerns,
00:04 whether that is on Gaza or on other issues, and we will be doing that now, in the weeks and months
00:12 ahead as we go into a general election. We don't take any vote for granted in the Labour Party,
00:19 and it's incredibly important. Just today, we've also announced a race equality act to ensure
00:27 equal pay for ethnic minorities and an ability to bring dual discrimination claims against
00:36 employers who discriminate. So, you know, this is something which is core Labour values and
00:42 something that we'll pursue in government.
