The government is legitimising Reform with anti-migrant rhetoric while alienating long-time Labour voters by shifting to the right.
This won't defeat the far right, nor will it improve lives ruined by austerity - it's clearly a lose-lose strategy.

77 years ago, Jewish militias attacked and destroyed towns across historic Palestine during the beginning of the Nakba, meaning "catastrophe" in Arabic. In 1948, their actions forced nearly 75% of the Palestinian population to flee, tearing families apart and devastating entire communities.

Racist language from Starmer as he tries to outflank Reform from the right:
The UK risks becoming an “island of strangers", “take back control of our borders”, close the book on a “squalid chapter” of rising inward migration.
Actually, it's "squalid Labour".
