A transgender model, who was fired by L'Oreal for her comments in which she said all white people are racist, has been appointed as a Labour equalities advisor.

The panel of advisors is managed by Dawn Butler MP, who is the Shadow Secretary of State for Women and Equalities.

Munroe Bergdorf, 30, made history when she was hired as L'Oreal's first transgender model, but was fired days after the appointment when critics unearthed comments she made in response to the far-right march at Charlottesville.

The model, from East London, was recently appointed to Labour's LGBT+ advisory group and posted the news on Twitter, illustrated with a picture of her meeting Jeremy Corbyn.

She wrote: "Thrilled to announce that I've been asked to be part of an LGBT+ advisory board for The Labour Party - To advise Shadow Secretary of State for Women and Equalities, Dawn Butler MP, on issues affecting the LGBT+ community, to help form and push through fairer and more effective policy change."

Ms Bergdorf had previously said: "Because most of ya’ll don’t even realise or refuse to acknowledge that your existence, privilege and success as a race is built on the backs, blood and death of people of colour. Your entire existence is drenched in racism. From micro-aggressions to terrorism, you guys built the blueprint for this s---.
