U.S. President-elect Barack Obama would never have become the British Prime Minister because of 'institutional racism' in the Labour Party, the head of Britain's equality watchdog claimed.
Trevor Phillips, chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, told The Times: 'If Barack Obama had lived here I would be very surprised if even somebody as brilliant as him would have been able to break through the institutional stranglehold that there is on power within the Labour Party.'

He said the Conservative Party had made more progress when it came to its selection procedures than Labour.

Race claim: Trevor Phillips

He said: 'The parties and unions and think-tanks are all very happy to sign up to the general idea of advancing the cause of minorities but in practice they would like somebody else to do the business. It's institutional racism.'

He added that he opposed all-black shortlists but said 'positive action' was needed by all parties.

His views were supported by Adam Afriyie, Conservative MP for Windsor, who said he did not believe he would see a black PM in his lifetime.
