Immigration minister Robert Jenrick has warned against demonising people seeking to come to the UK after Home Secretary Suella Braverman said England faces an ‘invasion’ of migrants on the south coast (Gareth Fuller/PA)
(Picture: PA Wire)Immigration is back on the news agenda and it’s as raw, difficult and upsetting as ever. The petrol bombing of a migrant centre in Dover was sickening and took me right back to the murder of Jo Cox.
For all the bluster around taking back control, it feels like we have learnt very little about how to discuss immigration with decency and how to find achievable, humane solutions through consensus. The Left doesn’t want to talk about it and the Right wants to demonise migrants. Both positions are irresponsible.
