I’m past defending JC, but when Zack Polanski connected his Jewish heritage and family history to Labour’s immigration policy on Newsnight, and the woman next to him scoffed and shook her head, I did find myself thinking, “How interesting that we’re back to that being acceptable again. And so soon.”
I fully agree Old Jezza’s failure to clock the very dodgy mural reflected badly on him. I do however contrast the reaction to this against e.g. Sir Keir cribbing from Enoch Powell, the billowing sixty foot union flag crackdowns and Suella Braverman summoning fash football thugs to attack protestors.

Apparently this government, if they were fleeing for their lives, would simply abandon their own children to die i guess?

Well, we know now why it was so easy for them to whip against voting to end the two child benefit cap...

Dear Politician,

If fascists are endorsing your immigration policies, it’s because your immigration policies are racist.

Just saying.

“This was a cynical strategic manoeuvre to avoid losing voters to the far right, but it seems, based on polling, that all they have done is prime their own voters to join the far right rather than stay with the Social Democrats.”

Another potential Denmark example for Labour to follow!

Literally the only difference between Reform and Labour is that Reform is honest about how much it hates the marginalised

Labour will pretend it's in everyone's best interest and they're doing it for the people and just enact the same policies
“If Labour don’t do this, we’ll get a Reform government”

Trans people, disabled people, migrants, people of colour and people seeking asylum already have a Reform government.

You just want to feel superior to those who like the idea of Nigel Farage as PM.

Doesn’t matter. “Starmer and Mahmood wanted to take jewellery from asylum seekers” is a mark those two will never be able to wash off and which the party as a whole will have to put in onerous work to remove.
My guess is they will end up u-turning on the jewellery thing (you can already see it being softening in interviews) and possibly the 20 years (which is way longer than Denmark).

What you are witnessing here is an educated professor of political science refusing to countenance the notion that a political party dominated by right-wingers who use right-wing rhetoric and pursue right-wing policies might be doing so because they are right-wing and desire right-wing ends.

trans women are not 'biological men'. anyone claiming that we are is engaging in science denialism.

it is transphobic to describe us that way. we have changed our physiology using medical science.

it is an attempt by transphobic columnists, pundits, and politicians to erase our existence.

To reiterate, this is about making life immeasurably more miserable and stressful for some of the most vulnerable people, in the almost certainly vain hope of winning over the votes of racists.

I will never vote for a party that gleefully attacks the vulnerable like this Labour government has attacked:

• refugees

• trans people

• disabled people

• children in poverty

Even if they claim some bogeyman wants to do it too.

There’s no point in Fascism Lite™.
