Secretary of State for Business and Trade Kemi Badenoch has accused the BBC of promoting critical race theory (CRT) after one of its headlines claimed that black women were “most likely to die” of the plague in medieval London.

CRT is a left-wing academic framework that originated in the United States, examining how race intersects with social structures and institutions.
