Aside from the cruelty of this, I’d just like to know why it’s ok to ignore and disappoint liberal/progressive voters.
Why do governments chase Farage and his voters, thinking that will neutralise them. It’s NEVER worked. He’s leading in the polls and his ideas have ruined us. WTF are you doing?

This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform.

Someone should ask Starmer and Mahmood whether they think the Kindertransport, for example, should have been a return ticket. Whether Alf Dubs, rather than becoming a Labour MP and now Lord, ought to have been sent back with his family to Czechoslovakia once it was liberated from German rule.
This contribution to the volume of human misery is yet another policy from Labour based on a false premise, in this case that refugees are overly attracted to Britain. It will increase bureaucratic limbo, thus making worse the problem of "cohesion" it purports to solve.

This is exactly what's called fossil fascism and the lifeboat Theory: Meaning resources are finite, so to sustain their unsustainable lifestyle built on fossil fuels, they think the "undesirables" have to go to sustain it.
But it won't solve anything, they will just move on to the next targets.

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric

We need to talk about how the media (including progressive ones) give far more coverage for crimes committed by Muslims and black people as opposed to the dominant group in those particular countries. None of this is by accident btw, this is why many think certain groups are more violent than others
