Who is Sajid Javid? - BBC Newsnight

On June 4, 1964, my parents arrived in this country. I am proud to say that they were immigrants, they had almost no money but they longed for a better life for me and my siblings. Sajid Javid thought he was living the British dream when his dream was called into question he raised his hand and said it could have been me a statement that resonated clearly in Downing Street this morning he accepted one of the state's big jobs with a mandate to make amends the damage caused to fellow British Dreamers when I heard that people who had long been pillars of their community were being affected simply by not having the correct documents to prove their legal status in the UK.

I thought it could be my mother, my brother, my uncle or even me. Sajid Javid likes to remind the world that he is the son of a Pakistani-born bus driver who arrived in Britain in the 1960s with just a pound in his pocket. When Sadiq Khan won the London mayoral contest, the new Home Secretary tweeted congratulations from a bus driver's son. to another, triggering an inevitable round of objectification, that tweet was designed to show Sajid Javid's anger with a Conservative campaign that was criticized for exploiting the background of the Carnes study and now the new Home Secretary, who has not been afraid from challenging to resume the cabinet, he hopes to preside over it. a new era to regain the trust of Britain's minority communities I want to start by making a promise to those of the Windrush generation who have been in this country for decades and yet have struggled to navigate through the immigration system that they never I should have.

That has been the case and I will do everything necessary to put it right and voices on both sides in Parliament have high hopes for the new Home Secretary. Well, Sajid is an incredibly talented cabinet minister. I have had the privilege of working alongside him and I believe that his appointment to the Home Office is not only because we have appointed a great person to become Home Secretary, but it is also another glass ceiling that has been broken. , this definitely affects him personally and I saw it in his work around integration, but he talked about his mother's experience, so what I hope is that he brings that experience to the work and initiates change.

I think partly because of his background, he's licensed, he's challenged, he can talk about these issues in a way that very few other members of that cabinet table can, but the bossy Baroness and Chuck Ramona believed that Sajid Javid should generate a real change if you want to take advantage of your opportunity. I think there are a number of changes we can make to our immigration system and now is the time to do them first. First and foremost, let us address the issue of the Windridge tragedy, let us compensate these people properly, let us compensate these people quickly and ensure that their right to remain in the UK is regularised.

I also think it's time for us to move away from our obsession with numbers and get rid of the goal that we simply haven't met despite having been in place for almost a decade and I also think we need to re-evaluate and bring back the safety net of calls and ensure that those calls are adequately funded, here is a great opportunity to turn the page and introduce a much more natural immigration debate in our country, so scrap that ridiculous net migration target that you know you are not going to meet or at least They will take the students out of it, is what I have been arguing, focus a little more on how Is it better to integrate the immigrants that come to our country instead of attacking them and treating them the way that immigrants from long standing like the Windrush generation, including some of my own constituents?

So he has a great opportunity here, but Sajid Javid faced repeated calls. In Parliament, not to lose sight of the importance of tackling illegal immigration, a Conservative MP asked the Home Secretary for assurances that he would not use Windrush as a Trojan horse to soften up. A new era may have begun today, but in some of the fundamentals such as the fight against illegal immigration Sajid Javid will keep faith in Theresa May
