Kemi Badenoch: “Modern Britain is a multiracial country, but we must never become a multicultural one where shared values disappear and people withdraw into separate worlds.

“Learning less about each other, trusting less, and fearing more; when that happens, suspicion turns into resentment, and resentment into hate. Some people push these divisions for retweets, likes…even votes.

“They think it is harmless but we saw its extreme form in Manchester this week when a home grown terrorist decided to kill British Jews, so blinded by his hatred and evil ideology.

“The one thing that brings us all together is being British.  We have to defend the values, language, institutions and culture that made our country great.

“The Conservative Party I lead will always do so.”
