Sajid Javid insist the UK was ready for a British-Pakistani Prime Minister as he played up his ‘broad appeal’
SAJID JAVID insisted Britain was ready for a British-Pakistani Prime Minister - as he played up his “broad appeal”.
The Home Secretary said that he recognised he was not from “central casting”.
But in a moving message the Home Secretary insisted he was ideally placed to lead a Conservative Government that would aim to bring people from all sides together.
He said: “We talked a moment ago about whether someone is Remain or Leave, whether someone is black or white, North or South, urban or rural, and whatever happens this is the number one thing, we have to address in our country if we are staying together as a cohesive society.
“I think it is incumbent upon all politicians, especially when we see around the world, in the US, Italy and others, there are politicians that want to feed off anger and feed off division, that we as Conservatives always look at the best in people and try to bring them together.”
He said he had lived with prejudice for most of his life – but believed Britain was the “most successful multi-racial democracy in the world”.
