How have Labour watched the Tories spend 2-3 years parroting Farage then lose an election badly and conclude a similar strategy is the best course of action?

Look, for fuck’s sake, humans have been migrating continuously for our entire existence.
Every single human in the world is the product of migration.
It’s what humans do. There is nothing *more* human.
That’s never going to change.
Just grow up, get the fuck over it and plan accordingly.

If Labour are just going to ape Reform anyway, why do we even need them? Those who want Reform policies can vote for them, those who don’t have options too. They’re trying to slightly please everyone but are pleasing no one, the Woolworths strategy. And we all know what happened there.

Summed up completely. This country is for all of us but this Labour government doesn’t want to listen to us.
It's the cowardice that did it for me too. I voted Labour 18 months ago hoping to end the performative cruelty and now I'm living in a far right hellscape of grotty flags on every lamppost and the BBC on the brink of collapse. The lack of leadership is utterly unforgivable.
