The Labour MP has vocalised his opposition to home secretary Sajid Javid's plans to extend police powers
STOP AND search is too often used to “demean” and “humiliate” black people, Labour MP Chuka Umunna had said.
The MP for Streatham responded to the home secretary’s plans to give more powers to police in a five-part Twitter thread.
He said: “Lambeth, which I represent, has one of the highest rates of stop and search in the country. Stop and search has its place but too often is used in a way which demeans and humiliates young black people in particular.
