A national conversation on immigration launches today to help advise the government on its post-Brexit immigration policy. In launching this consultation, the Home Affairs Select Committee has called on civic society to get involved, which we fully intend to do.

There is no disguising that the ‘immigration debate’ has become toxic in recent years. Real anxieties have been deliberately exploited and fed by unscrupulous politicians and both mainstream and alternative media outlets to the point where it has become almost impossible to have a decent discussion on the topic.
