I have nothing but respect for those Labour (and Co-op) MPs who have the courage to condemn their government’s cruel, draconian and counterproductive reforms to immigration and asylum.
These reforms must be opposed!
You don’t defeat the hard right by enacting hard right policies, it’s that simple!

Plans to leave refugees in a state of perpetual uncertainty about where and if they can rebuild their lives are not just performative cruelty, they are counterproductive to integration and the economy. It doesn’t have to be like this - 1/2

It's becoming increasingly difficult to tell the difference between Labour and Reform UK, especially on immigration and asylum.
For the far-right to advance, cruelty and inhumanity need to become normalised.
That is what Labour is doing with it's draconian immigration reforms. Shame on them! 🥀🥀🥀

Exactly. Why are Labour ministers enabling and legitimising these “dark forces”.
So the solution is… to join in?
I'm afraid the “dark forces” are calling from inside the house at this point.

The government should be ashamed that its migration policies are being cheered on by Tommy Robinson and Reform.
Instead of standing up to anti-migrant hate, this is laying the foundations for the far-right.
I questioned the Home Secretary on how she can be proposing such obviously cruel policies.

Regardless of whether it’s Labour in the UK or the CDU in Germany, the more you move to the right on immigration, the more you legitimise the nationalist right and the stronger they get.
