A single Hate Crime Act 

A new independent Hate Crime Commissioner 

Definition of race in hate crime laws to include 'migration' and 'asylum status' and/or 'language' 

The definition of transgender status to be widened to include trans, non-binary, cross dresser and intersex 

A new protected characteristic of Misogyny to be included (hatred for women) 

Gender and sex to be included 

Widen Football (Offences) Act 1991 to include protection against not just racist but also homophobic hate
