Immigrants “are ambitious, enthusiastic & hard-working. They want a better life, & a better life for their children, and they are willing to do backbreaking work in order to secure it. They show all the attributes which we praise in others but condemn if it's demonstrated by an immigrant.”

What word would you use to describe a PM who only takes GB News on a trip to another country?

I will never forget that the week Qatar decided to bribe the president of the United States with a plane, CNN decided to focus on the age and health of an ex-president.

The absolute only decent thing Labour has done since getting into government with regards to immigration was to scrap the Rwanda plan. In all other aspects they are, in practical terms, more anti-immigration than the previous government. With "return hubs" they nullify that one win. #r4today 1/

Starmer took GBNews to Albania to discuss return hubs for failed asylum seekers…and got told no. Mad Tories screech with delight about the embarrassment of that, forgetting the damage they did insulting Albanians.
What a political binfire of prejudice and failure.

I stood on the House floor today to sound the alarm: HB 113 is a quiet coup. It erases legislative intent, silences agency expertise, and hands power to far-right courts.

They’ve been increasing their propaganda about the NEED to suspend habeas corpus. They’ve laid the groundwork for MARTIAL LAW. It’s SO obvious what they’re doing. BELIEVE your eyes and ears.

Private Eye on Starmer’s immigration speech
Are we really meant to think he wasn’t responding to Reform?
Would he really have used such toxic rhetoric if the results had been different?
Does he really believe what he’s doing is fair and right?
No one really thinks so
Which means he loses everyone.

This amongst many other problems may be the consequence of the reputed lack of conviction and purpose at the top. If you don't have a clear idea of what you want to do, what you think it's right to do, you are tempted into tactical errors like this.
Starmer doesn't seem to realise that, if you consistently accept the way your opponents frame a question, you'll find it hard to reject the answers that they give.
If you keep telling voters that Farage is right in his analysis, it will be hard to persuade them that he's wrong in his prescriptions.
