imagine if Nick Griffin had proposed in 2010 that we should be stealing jewellery from refugees who arrive here, we’d have spent 15 years pointing to it as a low point in the political discourse around immigration, but now we’re just suppose to accept it from our “””centre-left””” government

With impeccable timing, "Labour Together" sharing analysis that shows that immigration only tops issue-polls because politicians won't stop banging on about it.
What actually matters to people's lives is the soaring cost of living.

Yesterday, we put out a report on the most important issues to voters.
We know that immigration now tops the traditional most important issues question (see below from @yougov.co.uk).
But that doesn't tell the full story.
Here is a rundown of the experiments we did to test this out (A THREAD):

Did nobody read those books? Yes, he’s a roaring wingnut, his take on everything from patriotism to grooming gangs is full metal Telegraph crackpot and he has been very open about this, as have a lot of MPs who agree with him. They’re just reactionary swine! It’s not much more complex than that.

Yup, he's the real power here, and will still have the confidence of many MPs since he vetted them. McSweeney is a convenient figure for suggesting things will be radically different if he goes. They will not.
Akehurst (via Labour First and Labour To Win) seemed to be leading the charge to takeover the NEC and CLPs, so wouldn't surprise me at all. He's also a big fan of the ol' "Move right to beat the right, no matter how far" strategy

The takeaway IMO is aggro centrism is an astonishing historic disaster. Not only does it not work - it delivers very little for the public, doesn’t address core problems of the era and disillusions the public with democracy itself - but it actively aids the far right and prepares the way for fascism

beyond just being wrong on the merits, the thing that bugs me about people dismissing actors and athletes as labor is that, historically, they’ve been at the forefront of a lot of labor victories that have helped labor more broadly

Labour are so monomaniacally focused on the left as their enemy, every single time they do something ostensibly aimed at socially conservative red wallers they can't help but break character and say out loud that it's pure political positioning
