‘What next for Labour’s agenda on race?’, in partnership with the Black Equity Organisation, on Monday 26th September from 10.30am – 12.00pm at Hilton Liverpool City Centre.
Since the Summer of 2020, the topic of race has remained a salient issue in Britain. As the Conservative Party have appointed the two most diverse cabinets ever, what can Labour do on the race agenda? We will discuss how Labour can find a common ground in debates around race.

Immigration white paper a shake-up of nearly every part of the system. Headline thoughts:
- Govt raising Skilled Worker threshold back to graduate level jobs. According to govt assessment, this is the policy with biggest impact on numbers. Hospitality likely to be most affected
"Fusing control and contribution with compassion would resonate with Britain, if the citizenship agenda which came with it was more proactive than punitive." - new column from @sundersays on the #ImmigrationWhitePaper for @easterneye
[1/2]
@thefabians Finally, on the politics, the electorate do want to see net migration reduced from the historic high reached under the Tories.
But views are nuanced.
Polling by @britishfuture shows that just 22% want fewer migrants for social care. 44% would like to see more 6/6
Most of the public (71%) DON'T want to see reductions in migration of fill care home workers, according to our Focaldata poll
#ImmigrationWhitePaper
“Getting trapped in the net migration numbers game, where less is always best, risks distracting Starmer from the key challenges of contribution and control.” @sundersays comment for @FT
UK immigration debate needs to drop the numbers game
Labour’s task is balancing public appetite for control with the party’s other policy goals

Speech from our @sundersays.bsky.social at the Royal British Legion's #VEDay80 event at the Senedd in Cardiff today.
Only a third of people know that there were Muslim soldiers fighting in the world wars for Britain. A new initiative launching today, called Great Faith, seeks to raise awareness.
Today we mark 80 years since VE Day, when forces from across Britain, the Commonwealth and our allies defeated Hitler's fascism in Europe.
