Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people.
How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

You're a Labour MP in a Labour government and these are the policies Labour are pursuing. If you're opposed to it, put your name to it or piss off.

Shaking my head at the national conversation-including whether Trump performed a sex act on Bill Clinton while Megyn Kelly defends pedophiles and Pam Bondi prosecutes Trump’s enemies to cover up possible crimes he committed with Jeffrey Epstein

Megyn Kelly is a fool if she thinks this absolves Epstein and friends from being pedophiles: “there’s a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old.” Yeah Megyn, there is a difference but both are still children. MAGA, Stop defending pedos! #ReleaseTheFiles

Ridge: lots of people around the world are persecuted & we can't take them all
Alison Pickup from Asylum Aid: most people who flee their countries stay nearby
e.g Lebanon has 1.5m Syrian refugees. But 37,000 people arriving in small boats last year is tearing the UK apart, right?

@alexjjnorris.bsky.social When people say you can learn a lot from films like Schindler's List, they didn't mean you should make notes on tactics of dehumanising people.
Govt minister Alex Norris is asked if the govt will take jewellery from people [fleeing war and persecution]. Norris says the govt won't be taking peoples wedding rings but they will seize assets.

I don't believe they're doing this because they think it's necessary to secure reform votes or whatever (and regardless, that won't work) but *even if they were*, there comes a point where if what you believe to be 'electable' is this morally bankrupt, you should choose not to be electable

When a conservative (Big and small-C) like Iain is making a more convincing case for what a Labour government should do than the government itself, then you know things really are awry in Number 10:
Reeves should risk it all on one last roll of the dice.
Raise income tax, break the triple lock, slay the deficit, spend the money on the things she believes in.
It may not work - but better than waiting for doom to overtake her.

If Starmer is forced out, then every prime minister since the Brexit referendum will have failed to complete a term.
The question is, how many will it take before the English media acknowledge the problem

Really good, fairminded and I think right on the question of why both Sunak and Starmer became unpopular so quickly and what the policy lessons from that are:
