Boris Johnson purged the Tories of anyone with brains. Keir Starmer seems to have tried to side-line anyone in the LP with decency & compassion. I suspect the result will be the same in both cases: their parties will cease to be relevant.

Appeasing the far-right gives the broader public the impression that their narrative is true. There is no way to stem support for Reform by endorsing their policies. Either you are fighting against them or you are, regardless of how you see yourself, fighting for them.

There’s nothing left wing socialist or progressive about violent policies towards Black and brown people seeking asylum and the Labour Party will find out what this means for you at the May elections
On Monday, the Home Secretary will outline the biggest set of changes to the asylum system in modern times.
These changes will restore order to our asylum system. There is nothing ‘left wing’, ‘socialist’ or ‘progressive’ about insecure borders.

Far right Mahmood confirms today that Ukrainians will be returned to Ukraine once the war is over. What, even those who are in relationships or married here and established a life here? I suppose yes, as she is ditching Article 8 of the ECHR for immigrants - the right to family life.
