Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood made more explicit her argument that when ethnic minorities face racism, "we have no choice but to ask: what is the cause of our division"

Her answer is the level of net migration, 2019-23 causes racism. (She on Monday said it was caused by the scale of asylum)

We did pretty well, won the motion 75 - 45.
In Durham tonight at the Durham Union

I will be anchoring the side proposing that multiculturalism is a source of national pride - supporting @tariqmodood.bsky.social - having decided that the bridging argument should probably be on this side of the argument in times like these

Net migration to the UK is falling rapidly. But how far will it fall? A new, detailed estimate by @jamesbowes01.bsky.social projects net migration in 2026 will be 70K to 170K.

This will have significant consequences, both economic and political.

Sky News platforms a fake Jewish Villa fan claiming he received death threats. The same routine was played out on GBNews and TalkTV. Andrew Fox is not Jewish neither is he the honorary head of the Jewish AVFC fan club. He's a far-right propagandist and Palestinian genocide denier. #SkyNews #FakeNews
