Robin McAlpine: England's Brexit debate is 'xenophobic'

Robin McAlpine, Director of the Common Weal think tank, says the politics of the Brexit debate in England are “right-wing, xenophobic, anti-European”.

He says the more affluent south is feeling “challenged by multi-culturalism" while northern England is challenged by the “weak economics of Britain”.

He told BBC Debate Night this has not been happening in Scotland, Wales or Northern-Ireland.

Common Weal was founded by Mr McAlpine in 2013 to campaign for social and economic equality in Scotland.
