Can Liz Truss govern a Britain that’s happy with immigration and Europe?
this summer found that most British people – including most “Leave” voters – favour a new deal with the EU that includes free trade and freedom of movement across borders.Surveys
This did not happen gradually: Studies show it happened suddenly, within months of the 2016 vote, and has remained consistent since.It’s particularly astonishing because post-Brexit Britain not only has more immigration than before the vote , but that immigration is now mostly non-European, non-Christian and non-white. Before 2016, most immigrants were European labourers who were white and Christian.
Of course, that is reflected in Liz Truss’s government, which, as many have observed, is the first in British history not to have a white man in a top cabinet position. It is dominated by figures such as Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng, Foreign Secretary James Cleverly and Home Secretary Suella Braverman, all with parents who were immigrants from Africa. British Tories, even pro-Brexit Tories, are now likely to see immigrants as their people.
