Honking policy on energy though, and not having an army is completely impractical. There’s genuinely not a decent option.

Imagine being part of the 17% who thinks an Afghan terp should be deported. One way to announce yourself as a nobhead!

How about we just represent facts and deploy critical thinking? Removing all of the guff from politicians would be a good start. He’s an absolute helmet.

People don’t care about policy though, they only care about ‘stopping the boats’ really. Plainly clear in the polls, as that is Reform’s only message, and they’re doing so well. They can’t win that argument so they’re just pandering to Farage. The rest is semantics.

Screams of Priti Patel’s little Israel sortie. Back in government in a few months.

“They won’t remember”

I get you’re scared of reform, but people aren’t going to associate labour with hardline immigration policies. No point alienating your actual voter base for this. Doesn’t make any sense.

Doubling down and showing unwillingness to consider that they may have got this wrong, would not be the approach I’d go for tbh. I get they need to appear as an authority on the subject, but I don’t think this story would have made the Guardian if they had nipped it in the bud quietly.

What are they trying to achieve here, they can’t knock 400 runs off so why are they trying to hit every ball for six. It makes no sense. Surely a draw is better than a loss?
