For decades, Britain has embraced multiculturalism as the civilised way for different communities to co-exist. But that model is now facing a profound test. As global migration increases, how can societies reconcile the challenges that arise when people with fundamentally different beliefs and values live side by side?
Across Europe, the rise of patriotic and nationalist movements is challenging open-border policies and a political class accused of prioritising inclusion over assimilation. Mass immigration has become a political timebomb, fuelling the rise of Reform UK and its sister parties across the continent. Multiculturalism is increasingly being seen not as a model for social harmony, but as a threat to national identity, security and social cohesion.
