Wrote this on the big problem that the hard right have with London - if ethnic diversity and high levels of migration really are the major causes of decline in the UK, then why is the region with the greatest diversity and largest number of migrants, doing so well?
Great piece for On London by the brilliant @christabelcoops.bsky.social. If fewer "White British" means national decline, how come the nation's capital is content with diversity & the UK's economic powerhouse? www.onlondon.co.uk/christabel-c... @philipstephens.bsky.social
If fewer 'White British' means decline, why is London successful?
Using the capital to paint apocalyptic visions conveniently ignores its contentment with diversity and its economic vitality

Today's Government decision to allow the expansion of London City Airport is very significant and the first test of the government's growth priority.
