Kemi Badenoch, the UK Business Secretary, has strongly criticized Labour's proposed Race Equality Act, comparing it to apartheid in South Africa. Badenoch accused Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer of aiming to force businesses into classifying their workforce by race, which she described as 'morally repellent'. She made these remarks during a speech to the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), asserting that Labour's plans to monitor ethnic pay disparities would lead to pay being decided based on ethnicity, though there is no evidence for this.
