A legacy of tackling injustices

THERESA May is setting up a new watchdog to promote a fairer society as part of her legacy.

The Office for Tackling Injustices, an independent body to be known as Ofti, will be tasked with combating injustice, with tough measures to hold Cabinet ministers to account on the issue.

Mrs May said: ‘Deep-seated social injustice requires a long-term focus and cannot be eliminated overnight. I am proud of what we have achieved to make the UK a more just society. But there is more to be done if we are truly to say that this is a country which works for everyone – no matter who they are or where they’re from.’

The watchdog will ‘shine a spotlight on injustices, provide better solutions and create lasting change,’ she said.
