Sir Salman Rushdie: Migration politics 'pushing people to right wing'

Sir Salman Rushdie says the issue of economic migration has now become a major political force, which is “pushing people towards the right wing”.

Speaking to presenter Martha Kearney on stage at Hay festival, the author said that the shift was “a danger, not just for the UK, but the whole of Europe”.
