Lib Dem MP Josh Babarinde brought in a bill on Tuesday to add new ethnicity choices, such as Black English and Asian English, to the census. Lib Dem leader Ed Davey asked the PM at PMQs, the weekly Commons showdown, if he'd support it. Andy Burnham said he hasn't read the detail, but wants to back it to counter 'poisonous politics'.
