Mahmood would rather soothe the racists than do the “hard work of confronting the economic failure… and cowardice that has enabled the rise of the far right.”
As if making life even worse for immigrants will make our country happier and better off.
It won’t.

Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study explains it:
a 6–8% hit to GDP – that's £180bn-£240bn a year – means less tax, less investment and less money for everything else.
Brexit made Britain poorer. Much poorer.

Labour do know it. This is the issue - people know that they are being disingenuous by parroting the same old tired rhetoric. The country needs immigration and this dehumanisation will only hurt the people the country rely on. It’s shocking.
What the Labour Party used to understand was that it wasn’t that immigration was tearing the country apart, but that immigration was what was holding the country together. Immigration kept our NHS going, our transport system going, our education and much more.
It’s still true. They must know it.

The government won’t achieve ‘decency’ over ‘division’ by trying to be Reform Lite and please remember this - the ECHR is much more than a treaty. It’s a quiet promise - a shield against abuse of power, a lifeline for the vulnerable, a declaration of who we are as a nation
Labour’s plan risks weakening protections for all of us. Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should and should not apply to.
