Asked about Tommy Robinson supporting her asylum plans Shabana Mahmood replies that "Tommy Robinson doesn't even think I'm actually English, so he will certainly not be supporting anything I've got to say."
But he is supporting what she's got to say. That was the point of the question

We won't stop until the govt has heard us: the only lesson that can be learnt from the disaster of PFI is a fully publicly owned and publicly funded NHS - like this government promised in their manifesto.

Tying Glasman & Blue Labour to Bannon & Epstein ought to be enough to kill them off. They should sink without trace.
It certainly explains Mahmood's hugely dodgy views on asylum.

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics.
He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist
