Sunder Katwala

Sunder Katwala is the Director of British Future, a thinktank that focuses on research and policy recommendations concerning social inclusion, immigration, and national identity in the UK. British Future has recently been in the news for two key reports. One highlighted that despite a sharp drop in net migration figures, a substantial portion of the British public mistakenly believes it is rising, indicating a significant gap between reality and public perception. Another report from British Future revealed that the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) has been accused of giving racists 'impunity' by refusing to remove posts containing racial slurs, including the N-word, directed at prominent UK politicians. Katwala's work with British Future positions him as a commentator on contemporary social and political issues, particularly concerning public attitudes towards immigration and the challenges of online hate speech.
