What was behind Starmer’s ‘Enoch Powell’ second? – Electoral Dysfunction

Another week, one other sticky state of affairs for the prime minister and a few of his MPs – this time it is centred round his language on immigration.

When Sir Keir Starmer introduced his White Paper, he argued that Britain "risked becoming an island of strangers" if immigration ranges weren’t lower.

So was he deliberately evoking Enoch Powell’s notorious 1968 Rivers Of Blood speech? Or was this an enormous mistake?

Also, with the Assisted Dying Bill again in parliament this week, Beth Rigby, Ruth Davidson and Harriet Harman go on a tour of the British Isles to take a look at how completely different parliaments are approaching their laws. If MPs in Westminster vote their invoice down, might it cease it in its tracks in Holyrood too.
