Perceived tensions between immigrants and British-born people at new high - poll

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Mr Duffy said the UK had lived through "an incredibly divisive period around the EU referendum and its aftermath" and that division appears to have "morphed into party political and other splits, with attitudes to immigration and the speed of culture change more generally at the heart of them". Gideon Skinner, senior director of UK politics at Ipsos, said: "Perceptions of political and cultural disharmony are growing, reflecting a society grappling with nostalgia, the pace of change, and growing tensions over immigration, and with polarised views over what terms like 'woke' signify." But he cautioned that: "On many issues there is no clear consensus, with a need to understand the differences under the topline figures; it should not be forgotten that many people are not on the extremes in their views".
47% : The polling of 4,027 people aged 16 and older in August, came four months after the Supreme Court ruling, which said the words "woman" and "sex" in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex.
39% : Researchers from King's College London (KCL) said post-Brexit division appeared to have "morphed into" party political and other splits around immigration and so-called culture wars.
