OPINION - I know Robert Jenrick and I can't believe that he has joined the nasty types on immigration

Immigration is yet again front-page news and, as always, I watch the performative hot takes on the issue by people seeking to outdo each other on how “hardline” they can be. What madness. For those who are hard of thinking: we don’t have to be mean to deal with immigration.

I understand that immigration is a key issue for every government in the world. But what I don’t understand is when talking about this issue how normally sound-minded can turn into a Right-wing nonsensical man who conflates the issue of immigration with loons at pro- marches screaming hateful stuff. From where I stand, many of those are British. So unless Jenrick is saying only white people can be seen as British, I just don’t get it.
