I recently delivered the third in a series of keynote speeches on the subject of immigration as shadow home secretary.
In the first speech I dealt with Labour’s values as they apply to immigration. Specifically, I pledged to uphold the right to a family life and explained that, under Labour, for all those entitled to be here, there’ll be no deportations of family members or exclusion of family members.
In my second speech I tackled the issue of the Windrush scandal and how this related to the Tories’ “hostile environment” policies.
My central point here was that the Windrush scandal did not fall from the sky but was a product of the Tories’ “hostile environment” policy and laid out in the Immigration Act of 2014, both of which will go under Labour.
