.Shabna Begum from the Runnymede Trust is spot on here, immigrants aren't responsible for the housing crisis. We know what's happening - migrants are being scapegoated for the consequences of decisions taken by successive governments over decades.

Had gone on the show, wondering what I might have to say about NI/EU trade rule changes & planning reforms - but I should have known that even these issues will be dragged into explanations that blame immigrants... Love representing Runnymede Trust

Mainstream political debates, which locate almost every social issue as having a migrant or Muslim cause, need to be challenged. These claims are not supported by the evidence, and do nothing to solve the issues this country faces. 🗣️ Our Shabna Begum
