Ealing Central and Acton's Labour MP Rupa Huq attended a conference in Warsaw to share her views on UK-Polish relations in a post-Brexit and post-pandemic world.

Huq represented the UK All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG), and said she was proud to represent Ealing Central and Acton "which is the most Polish community outside of Poland".

Huq said: "Since being elected I have taken the time to get to know this amazing country and its people who have been a longstanding feature of Ealing which has had a Polish church since the 1970s".

She added: "It was an honour to be invited to Warsaw and speak alongside such greats as former Foreign Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind who was full of anecdotes on his Polish visits dating back to Communism during the Thatcher era".

According to the Office for National Statistics, there are around 15,000 Polish nationals living in Ealing and out of local authorities in England and Wales, Ealing ranked highest in terms of both the number of Poland-born inhabitants and Polish nationals.

The figures peaked in 2017 and there is some evidence of UK Poles returning to Poland since the Brexit vote.

Huq used the conference to also express her regret at the UK's decision to leave the EU and stated to delegates, "I would like to see Labour one day be a rejoin party in my lifetime, but given the result of the last election cannot see that being anytime soon."

The conference at the Belvedere Forum was attended by past and present government ministers from both the UK and Poland.

The Belvedere Forum is an annual event which brings together a diverse range of people from civil society, politics, business, academia and NGOs that seek to strengthen the economic and political partnership between the two countries.
