I think it is vitally important that the war in Gaza ends, and that a political solution is found that can enable all Israelis and Palestinians to live together peacefully, whether in a two-state solution or a plurinational democratic state.

Britain is a product of millenia of immigration. It has made us who we are. Quite why Starmer felt the need to set-up such an open goal with his outrageous choice of language, I'll never know. Regardless, Polanski knocks the ball into the back of the net with the force of righteous indignation.

The step-up in anti-migrant rhetoric from the government is shameful and dangerous. Migrants are our neighbours, friends and family. To suggest that Britain risks becoming “an island of strangers” because of immigration mimics the scaremongering of the far-right.
