Windrush policy: Will it damage the Conservative vote?

Could the Windrush scandal, or the changes to immigration rules in what became known as the "hostile environment" policy, hit the Conservative Party's chances of getting elected in areas where there are ethnic minority voters?

Lord Cooper of Windrush was David Cameron's director of strategy when he was prime minister.
He tells Radio 4's World at One that unless the party "significantly increases its support among non-white
voters... the pace at which the country is becoming more ethnically diverse will overtake it".
