Robert Jenrick, the leading candidate to replace Rishi Sunak as the Conservative Party leader, has expressed concerns that mass migration and 'woke culture' are eroding England's national identity.

Writing in the Daily Mail, Jenrick criticized the 'metropolitan establishment' for their 'sneering attitude' towards England's identity and claimed that the influx of migrants is causing the social fabric of the nation to 'fray.' Jenrick warned of potential far-right political risks if these issues are not addressed.

Despite calls to define English identity, he refrained from simplifying such a complex concept into a soundbite, emphasizing instead the importance of celebrating England's history and culture.

Jenrick has proposed capping net immigration to below 100,000 annually and exiting the European Convention on Human Rights to manage asylum processes more effectively.

The Conservative leadership race, which includes candidates Kemi Badenoch, James Cleverly, and Tom Tugendhat, will conclude with the announcement of the new leader in November.
