Treading a fine line on immigration policy

The politics behind Ed Miliband's big speech yesterday are obvious.

Labour knows that immigration policy remains a major public concern, especially in the south-east and other areas that have borne the brunt of the recent human influx. If the party is to win back the marginals it lost in 2010, it must address those concerns. It must also reach out to immigrants themselves, who too often live side by side with white British communities without any meaningful contact.
