Allowing asylum seekers to travel safely and ending the exploitation of migrant workers would be an excellent start
Labour must not make the mistake of being too timid on immigration. It will not be enough to stop doing some of the more egregious things that the current government proposes – such as sending refugees to Rwanda – and returning to a “sensible” level of hostility. Labour needs to be bold enough to undertake a radical overhaul of our failed immigration and asylum systems, and to start to manage the issue pragmatically and humanely for the benefit of all.
It is vital to break completely with the negative narrative about immigrants – that they are a problem to be solved, or a responsibility the UK can palm off on to others. Labour needs to make the case for a system grounded in compassion and based on the objective reality that people move. We live in a remarkably interconnected world and it should be taken as a given that there are people with connections to the UK: some who come here need protection, others need opportunities. We, meanwhile, need people. Managed well, we all benefit. In celebrating migration, Labour will in fact much better reflect the attitudes of the majority of Britons, which are far more positive than ever before, despite ongoing demonisation.

If anyone has the right to sit on a throne in the middle of Las Vegas, it’s Usher. The King of R&B, whose residency graced the city for 18 months, has earned his crown as an ambassador of near-peerless showmanship, luscious escapism and a good time. He’s an old-school performer, the kind to give and give, to one-up himself on a ceaseless quest to entertain. And so the 45-year-old resident star of Vegas (with all due respect to Adele) opened his Super Bowl half-time show – an achievement explicitly aimed as both a celebration of his 30-year career and a continuation of it – bedecked in regal white suit, flanked with circus performers, and meticulously, mellifluously hitting his marks.
The 15-minute show – an extra two on the normal runtime, to account for his vast catalog – was a frenetic and daring, if at times chaotic and uncharacteristically wobbly, display of showmanship from a performer who who has no reason to prove his bona fides but went for it nonetheless. His mic was live, dance moves locked and loaded, and, at one point, roller skates on. Ever the audience pleaser and libido disrupter – the show opened with a mock “U” rating from Apple Music, for risk of “gyrating” that “may cause relationship issues” – Usher turned the football field into a cornucopia of dance gymnastics and nearly sprinted through a nostalgia tour of hits.

It has been two days since Marc Veira, AKA Flowdan, woke up to a flurry of messages and missed calls congratulating him on becoming the first British MC to win a Grammy. “I wasn’t expecting to win so I wasn’t waiting for the news,” he says by video-call from his east London home. “I still haven’t even celebrated. I guess it means I’m a newcomer in the US, even though I’ve been doing this for 20 years.”
At 43, Veira has spent the past two decades applying his baritone growl to tracks guaranteed to cause a frenzy on British dancefloors. As a founding member of the UK rap collective Roll Deep, Veira played a key role in the birth of grime, alongside fellow members Wiley and Dizzee Rascal, while a long-running collaboration with producer the Bug created classics like the bass-heavy dubstep staple Skeng. Towering over 6ft, his beard peppered with grey hairs and his gold tooth glinting when he delivers his patois-inflected bars, Veira is an experienced marshal of unruly crowds, finally experiencing mainstream recognition.
