The trouble is that if the starting point for policy is based on an acceptance of fundamental misconceptions and even prejudices fuelled by populist politicians then Labour is setting itself up for inevitable failure. It's a considerable challenge but more courage and honesty is required.

Some of this fury has its roots in gross misconceptions, do you not push back? How we take in far less than our west European peers, the small fraction of overall immigration that asylum seekers represent, absence of safe routes, the fact that most of them are indeed fleeing persecution, etc.
