Look out for our final report on Monday!

[Jill Rutter @jillyrutter.bsky.social 🇬🇧🇺🇦 @jillyrutter]

We are more divided than all of us want, but divisions can be overcome - given political will and commitment to integration. As the @Nationalconvers on Immigration showed, most people have moderate views. Easy to reify/talk up divisions and be gloomy

[Sunder Katwala @sundersays]

It was striking in @Nationalconvers how much a few big firms - Amazon and Sports Direct - had profoundly affected (damaged) local attitudes, creating micro-climate of much more sceptical attitudes than elsewhere.

"We think politicians need to engage with the public to have an honest discussion that balances their views with the needs of our economy and the rights of the migrants themselves" – @rosiecarte (of @hopenothate) for @MetroUK on #immigration

[NationalConversation @Nationalconvers]

If employers want to build public and political support for the immigration that the economy needs, they need to engage locally as well as nationally, writes @sundersays (of @britishfuture) for @CapX

[NationalConversation @Nationalconvers]

Our conversations were often about more than immigration, but about opportunity, about identity and about hope – says @Rosiecarte (of @hopenothate) for @IndyVoices

[NationalConversation @Nationalconvers]

@Rosiecarte @hopenothate @britishfuture @ICMResearch It’s urgent that the Government rebuilds trust around #immigration. We’ve made over 40 recommendations in our report. Key among them is the launch of an official ‘National Conversation on Immigration’, which feeds into an annual 3-year migration plan.

[NationalConversation @Nationalconvers]

Our report provides a comprehensive evidence base of public views on #immigration, including reports from each of the 60 locations visited and over 40 recommendations to national and local government, business and civil society.

[NationalConversation @Nationalconvers]

@Rosiecarte @hopenothate @britishfuture @ICMResearch The National Conversation also found that anti-Muslim prejudice was widespread, with a tendency to stereotype #Muslims as a homogeneous community whose values and lifestyle are incompatible with the British way of life. It sometimes underpinned broader views about #immigration.
