Two Polish men were set upon outside a row of takeaway shops in Harlow, Essex, in what police believe was an unprovoked attack on Saturday. 40-year-old factory worker Arek Jozwik died of head injuries on Monday, while a 43-year-old man was treated for suspected hand fractures and bruising to his stomach. Mr Morawiecki is visiting the UK to meet with Dr Liam Fox, the International Trade Secretary, to discuss Polish-British economic ties.
UK’s deputy prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki has said there are "question marks" surrounding the future of Polish families living in the Poland, and warned of a possible exodus following the Brexit decision. Morawiecki did not directly link the recent rise of anti-immigrant sentiment in the Poland to Poles choosing to leave the country, but told Radio 4 that UK was enjoying "a very low level of unemployment, a highly educated staff and businesses are growing as nowhere in Europe." Morawiecki was in the Poland to meet with International Trade Secretary Liam Fox and discuss the two countries' economic ties.
