Small boats that are still arriving, pictured on TV, are much more visible than a 40% fall in arrivals, so this isn’t cutting through with the public, says Sunder.

@emilyagraham.bsky.social says you can’t adopt past approach by saying “we’ll do the control and then you can have the compassion”. They’ve got to be simultaneous. She says the ‘one in one out’ asylum deal with France has the right principles but has to be at much bigger scale

Labour mustn’t overlook aspiration among uk ethnic minorities, says @jowusunepaul.bsky.social - removing unfair barriers is quite different to an outdated and paternalistic approach to ‘helping’ minorities

130

British Future @britishfuture.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Structural barriers mean ethnic minority workers are paid less and are often concentrated in less secure jobs, says Kudsia of TUC. Increasing fairness at work for everyone will disproportionately help minority workers, she says.

Devolution presents opportunities to address loneliness and isolation locally, says Olivia Field of @jocoxfoundation.bsky.social - creating new opportunities for connection. They have appointed local ‘loneliness champions’ to help drive this.

Housing, health and transport can play a major part in belonging, connection and isolation, says Shelly Hathaway-Batt of Clarion Futures, part of a large housing group. Spaces for social connection can be designed into new housing developments, she says, as essential infrastructure

Young people are often presented as stereotypes in our national discourse, says youth advocate Iffat Bhuiyan. There’s a lack of voice, of awareness of available services, and of opportunities to connect with older generations. Change can start with policymakers engaging with young people, he says

Yesterday in Parliament we launched a major new report, Race and fairness in fractious times: Public priorities for racial equity. Speakers included @seemamalhotra-mp.bsky.social , @laboursatvir.bsky.social, Sir Patrick Vernon, Albie Amankona and Timi Okuwa.

Full house in Parliament today for the launch of our new report, Race and fairness in fractious times: Public priorities for racial equity, funded by @nuffieldfoundation.org

British Future @britishfuture.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

It finds that people of all backgrounds agree progress has stalled on racial equality and may even be going backwards. Nearly half of white respondents (48%) and ethnic minority respondents (44%) feel racial equality is getting worse rather than better.

011

British Future @britishfuture.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

The rejoin camp should not take the youth vote for granted. “Young people are often assumed to be passionately pro-rejoin, yet we find newer voters feel more undecided, disengaged and unaware of the arguments of 2016," says co-author @jakepuddle.bsky.social

British Future @britishfuture.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

"I hope that a Youth Mobility deal between the UK and EU is just weeks away from being agreed. This excellent report confirms there is strong public support and should embolden our government to move at pace," says @andrewlewinmp.bsky.social

112

British Future @britishfuture.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

The report identifies challenges for both sides of UK politics. “Politicians on both sides of the Brexit debate need to move beyond their comfort zone refighting the 2016 referendum if they are to persuade the public about the future choices," says @sundersays.bsky.social

100

British Future @britishfuture.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

55% support, in principle, a scaled-up UK-France asylum deal comprising a safe route with robust returns — including majorities of voters considering Labour, Conservative and Reform UK. The report recommends expanding this deal into an EU-wide scheme.

100

British Future @britishfuture.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Freedom of movement remains contested: 26% support it as a condition of EU membership, while only 12% voice outright opposition – but most people are undecided. 4 in 10 would like free trade access to the EU but are sceptical of relaxing immigration rules to achieve this. 22% answer ‘don't know’.

100

British Future @britishfuture.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

There is real caution about another referendum: just 34% want one “as soon as possible”, while the rest are split between wanting one further off (28%), not at all (21%) or indecision (16% ‘Don’t know’) – reflecting concern that a re-run could reopen old divisions or destabilise UK politics.

100

British Future @britishfuture.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Support for practical cooperation — on trade (62%), defence (57%), health (56%), and agriculture (54%) — is consistently higher than support for reopening the Brexit question itself.

100

British Future @britishfuture.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

The research identifies five distinct public "tribes" on Europe, from the 22% who are "All In" on rejoining to the 19% who remain "Firmly Out". The largest group, making up more than four in ten of the public, sit in a moveable middle: open to closer cooperation but unpersuaded on the terms.

100

British Future @britishfuture.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

There is popular support for PM Andy Burnham emerging from this autumn’s EU summit with a Youth Mobility Scheme. Some 57% support a reciprocal programme for 18–30-year-olds, with only 12% opposed. Even among EU-sceptics, it's seen as constructive middle ground for improving UK-EU relations.

110

British Future @britishfuture.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

It finds most of the public (57%) sees Brexit as more of a failure than a success, and want closer EU ties – but voters are uncertain about another referendum or accepting free movement.
