I’ll admit: I thought the lack of a plan would be a problem for Starmer, but that it would resolve as “governing like the SNP but with a worse record on job creation”, because Starmer would be run by the civil service and just do producer interest government. Not…what we have now.

I've not been a member of, or voted for, any main UK political party for years.
But I honestly never thought I'd see the day that Labour and the Tories would get into a bidding war, about who could get closest to National Front or BNP policies on immigration.

None of the right wing columnists, talking heads and Twitter accounts currently professing ecstasy over Shabana Mahmood's performance in yesterday's parliamentary debate, have any intention of voting Labour because of what she said.

People going nuts on Twitter, over Iqbal Mohamed telling a Your Party meeting yesterday that he wants them to "take over" the UK.
Why is that a weird thing to say? Isn't "taking over" the whole point of going in to politics?
Or is this more a case of "scary beard man" racial fear from the right?
