flag Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick sparks backlash for remarks linking lack of white faces in Birmingham to his vision of Britain, drawing criticism over racial implications.

flag Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick faces backlash over leaked remarks from March, in which he said he saw "no other white face" during a 90-minute visit to Handsworth, Birmingham, and called it "not the kind of country I want to live in." flag He said his concern was about integration and people living together, not race, but critics, including Labour chairwoman Anna Turley, condemned the comments as equating personal comfort with racial demographics and reducing individuals to skin color. flag Turley emphasized that people of color should not have to justify their Britishness, especially amid Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch’s recent affirmation that all children belong in the UK. flag The controversy highlights tensions within the party over race, identity, and integration.
