Can Labour change the debate on immigration?
Event type: Party conference fringeDate: 10/10/2023
Location: ACC Meeting Room 18 (Main conference space), Liverpool
Recent research shows UK attitudes to immigration are among the most positive internationally, despite net migration reaching record levels. Is it therefore time for Labour to present a more positive vision of immigration policy that better fits with the national mood, or should the party tread a more cautious line?
