Cooper defends Starmer's island of strangers' line but says she does not know if he was aware of Enoch Powell echo UK politics live
Briefly

Robert Jenrick, shadow justice secretary, addressed concerns surrounding mass immigration in Britain, agreeing with Keir Starmer's warning that the country risks becoming an 'island of strangers'. He highlighted demographic shifts in regions like Bradford and Luton, where a significant proportion of residents are immigrants. Jenrick called for a reduction in migration levels to restore historical integration. Starmer's recent immigration white paper sparked debate about the language used regarding immigration and national values, emphasizing the importance of fair rules for a cohesive society.

Nations depend on rules—fair rules. Sometimes they're written down, often they're not, but either way, they give shape to our values.
