Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has praised the UK’s “fantastic multicultural democracy” in what appears to be a snub to controversial comments made by the home secretary.

He also repeatedly declined to endorse Suella Braverman’s U.S. remarks that multiculturalism has “failed” in Europe and threatens social cohesion in the nation state.
