WHEN Aashiqui became a blockbuster in 1990, its lead star Rahul Roy went on a signing

spree without looking at the quality of projects and that ultimately destroyed his career.

Now Rajkummar Rao, who has broken into the big time, seems to be doing the same thing, and is signing loads of projects without really thinking about the quality. His two 2018 films – including recent release Fanney Khan – have bombed and he has another movie out later

this month, Stree, which is also likely to flop. Meanwhile some of his other films are trying to find buyers and he has signed a stack more. This could lead to the talented actor’s

undoing.

Comment: To lead on immigration, Starmer must speak with his own conviction

So who was prime minister Sir Keir Starmer trying to sound like on immigration? Not Enoch Powell, surely, though independent former Labour MP Zarah Sultana alleged the ‘rivers of blood’ speech was quoted with intent. Downing Street scrambled to declare any faint echo unintentional. Briefing that Starmer was really summoning the spirit of Roy Jenkins instead - since Labour's most liberal multiculturalist home secretary did not want unlimited immigration - did not reflect his tone.

The prime minister’s language was deliberately tough - much tougher than the white paper he was recommending. Its principles - controlling migration, to bring the record numbers down, while welcoming contributors, managing impacts and promoting cohesion - could resonate across a Labour electoral coalition which includes migration sceptics, liberals and many ‘balancers’ in between.

Immigration white paper: ‘Control’ is not only about lower numbers

The title, “Restoring Control of the Immigration System”, makes 'control' the core message of the immigration white paper. “Take Back Control” was the opening riff of prime minister Sir Keir Starmer’s launch speech, contrasting the slogan that won the Brexit referendum with the soaring immigration that followed. Home secretary Yvette Cooper alliterates control, contribution and cohesion as her key principles.Control means different things to different people. Key questions remain about how this white paper will apply it in principle and practice.

Does control primarily mean choosing or reducing immigration? If we select the immigration that reflects Britain’s interests – and, hopefully, our values too – how far is the key test how low the numbers go?
