Used to have this argument with fellow Cons and, ultimately, unless and until I am a member of the Cabinet, I'm undo no obligation not to publicly oppose dumb things my party does.
Labour is going to introduce safe routes for those claiming refugee status while everybody here is talking about ‘jewellery theft’ proposals. I strongly suspect the latter was meant to divert Sun readers’ attention from clocking the former while you are meant to be welcoming the former. 🫤
“Until I am [bound by some form of collective responsibility], I'm under no obligation not to publicly oppose dumb things my party does.”
I am adopting this as my position regarding the Labour Party.

Least surprising plot twist ever
Nigel Farage said that the 'Raise the Colours' campaign was a "grassroots movement driven by ordinary people”.
Kemi Badenoch said they should be "welcomed" as a symbol of "unity"
Now the campaign has pivoted to racially abusing migrants and intimidating charity workers on the beaches of France

💯this. No Labour MP or councillor should still be on X. And ministers should be taking their departmental comms accounts off too.
If Labour are serious
about being visible to & engaging with ordinary people, instead of chasing far-right bots, fascists extremists & racist Farage fans, a first step should be leaving weirdo Musk’s X.
