Cross-party body to tackle divisions after 2024 riots
South Wales Evening Post
|June 26, 2025
AN INDEPENDENT commission aimed at tackling community divisions across Britain in the wake of last summer's riots will hold its first meeting on Wednesday.
-
The cross-party body, led by former Tory home secretary Sajid Javid and Labour MP Jon Cruddas, says it will seek to examine what the Prime Minister last year called the "cracks in our foundation".
It has support from across the political spectrum, including the backing of Keir Starmer's UK Government.
The group will develop a series of evidence-based recommendations for measures to build more social cohesion across the four nations.
Former Green Party leader Caroline Lucas, ex-Tory mayor of the West Midlands Andy Street, and former counter-extremism tsar Sara Khan are among its members.
