🎧Equiano project director @InayaFolarin argues for the importance of understanding and grace when someone asks you “where are you really from?” for @NickyAACampbell BBC 5 Live podcast ‘Don’t Say A Word’ Episode 1. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0n467…

Thank you for your apology. But English is not the same as British. Just as Scottish and Welsh are different to English- identities determined by background. And it’s not semantics. I’m not ethnically English; I’m ethnically Asian. And my nationality is British. Equally if you or I were born in China, we could never be ethnically Chinese. It’s this casual, anything-goes approach to culture and identity that has led our country to this confused and fractured situation today (a consequence of the orthodoxy of multiculturalism that has prevailed for decades). And the vague invocation of ‘British values’ has become meaningless because of this casual approach. We need a much more muscular reassertion of British culture, patriotism and heritage if we are to fix all the problems that the indulgence in multiculturalism has caused.

An impressive result for @reformparty_uk today. We more than doubled our vote and beat Labour in their own backyard. Huge credit to @GoodwinMJ and the thousands of volunteers. The wider campaign, however, should be a wake up call. South Asian men instructing women how to vote at polling stations in modern Britain. The winning party campaigning under a foreign flag and in foreign languages to exploit a foreign conflict. Depresssingly I can only see this appalling level of sectarianism spreading because most of our political class are in denial. Britain is broken. But it can be set on a better course. That’s why everyone who shares these concerns needs to get behind Reform and ensure the fight back can begin.

'Do you have any concern that this money will be going towards plugging a feeling of guilt, but without having a real impact on today's issues?' Professor Kehinde Andrews and Inaya Folarin Iman debate after a group of conservatives urge the new Archbishop of Canterbury to block the Church of England from spending £100m on slavery reparations. They say the funds should be spent on strengthening struggling parishes, not on what they call high-profile and legally dubious vanity projects.
