Sad to see HIGNFY panel deriding Gary Lineker's brave criticisms of Israeli genocide. There are plenty of occasions when "rats" can be used as an illustration, for instance "sinking ships". It's blatantly obvious that the BBC were just looking for a justification to punish him

They say we need British carers: But provide no provision to train or financial incentives for what is difficult, undervalued work.
They say disabled people should work: Yet provide zero plans, provisions or incentives for employers.
It’s just rhetoric, not considered policy.

All this while refusing to call out Brexit as one of the main factors for Britains low growth and the rise in immigration after “Brexit got done.”
Which allows Farage to evade his responsibility for the situation he now so happily exploits.

Accuses immigrants of causing “incalculable damage”, making the UK “an island of strangers”.
Rightly faces backlash from unions, employers, MPs.
Silence on class war, inequalities, profiteering, lack of public services, fuelling frustrations.

It will also be very expensive, another announcement that will just backfire.
Pandering to Reform over care workers is grubby and cheap.
Care homes are reliant on overseas staff. Without them, many will need to close their doors, leaving families and communities to suffer the consequences.

It sounds so simple, just basic common sense. So why is it so hard for Labour to understand?
Labour's twin problems:
- Those who care the most about "too much immigration" will NEVER make Labour their first choice. Not when Reform and the Tories are both deliberately going much harder.
- Those less concerned by the issue will be sick to their stomachs at yesterday's violent pitch right.

V good thread. Worth your time.
Labour's immigration announcement today is a reflection of the paucity of honest debate by BOTH political parties over the last decade on this issue.
Labour has never made a counter-argument, or been honest about economic cost of immigration curbs, so it's stuck making Tory/Reform arguments 1/n
