The current tragedy is that, while Reform's proposals are worse, the current government is currently enacting policies which leave people scared about their future, children at risk of losing a parent, all to "combat" Reform's policies to achieve the same goal.

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge.
Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots.

Another feature I've noticed amongst those defending/supporting the proposed policy on refugees: not just a failure of empathy, but a kind of antipathy. That is, not only can they not put themselves in the place of the refugees, but they actively differentiate themselves. Refugees become non-human.

Have to say I find the proposals to take away the route to permanent settlement of refugees both shocking and repulsive. It's code for 'whatever you do and contribute you can never become one of us so we won't allow you to try.' Racism, pure and simple.

I cannot stress this enough, as with Patel, Braverman, Sunak et al, do not bring Mahmood's background or religion into your arguments against policies. Racism is racism, no matter how "progressive" you think you make it sound. Counter the ideas, the inhumanity, the cruelty.

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.
Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities

You can argue that Labour shouldn’t break their manifesto promise not to raise taxes, though some would argue that when the facts change…?
But they know that raising income tax (and other taxes)is the right thing to do.
Not raising them just to keep their jobs is immoral.

Two things seem to be true this morning -

2/ Reeves has received much more optimistic forecasts, likely to he wage growth and inflation related
The combination means they can reverse their plans

Farage earns more than any other MP for NOT being an MP. He says it’s “obviously sad” that part of his constituency is the most deprived area in England.
But everything he’s ever done, said and wanted has made sure of it.
This is the whole country if he gets into power.

2. There’s good evidence that part of the reason Reform is polling so highly is because they’re constantly on TV, freely marketed without challenge.

This would be the end of this particular Labour government, I think. A budget in very difficult circumstances whose economic logic is so nakedly determined by the political interests of its proponents is a recipe for disaster - also deeply unserious from a market perspective.
