EU hints at compromise on youth mobility deal
Keir Starmer is meeting European Commission president in Brussels for the first time as PM next week.

Our @sundersays speaks to @bonsuman on @TimesRadio tonight 11.30pm about today’s #Windrush report, the riots and race in Britain
The report is now up on the government website ("but does not represent government policy and the views included in it are those of the author")
"The Home Office has been forced to release a suppressed report on the origins of the Windrush scandal by a tribunal judge who quoted George Orwell in a judgment criticising the department’s lack of transparency" - @guardian (report out today)
“The long-awaited publication of a report into the roots of the Windrush scandal is key to reinforcing transparency around government, a campaigner has said” - @itvnews report citing @ppvernon
Keir Starmer's conference speech drew a line between the toxic racism of rioters and the "legitimate concerns" that some people hold about immigration. Sunder Katwala examines the difference between 'legitimate concerns' – and those with no legitimacy.

A reminder of our joint paper ‘After the riots’, setting out how govt should respond and help build more resilient communities:
We’ll be discussing further ar a conference on 20 Nov with @BelongNetwork @togethercoalit
‘After the Riots - How do we respond to the causes of racism, disorder and violence in our communities?’ - our #LabourConference2024 fringe with @togethercoalit @BelongNetwork - @matthyde of @LBFEW introduces the panel
“This didn’t come out of nowhere. It came after years of vitriol towards minority communities in the uk.” Says @MrBrendanCox - We need different narratives, he says, telling the everyday stories of communities who live together and work together
.@MrBrendanCox “What tends to happen after riots is that the political response is law and order - a brilliant place to start, a terrible place to stop. Unless this gets consistent political attention, we’re going to get nowhere.”
.@mcintosh_kim says creating more social contact between people from different backgrounds is important, but it has to be intentional and properly resourced, so people have sustained, positive contact.
