A short thread about the comms confusion in Downing St. Labour is trying to please all of the people all of the time and to no one's surprise, it doesn't work.
This does seem to be a relevant question. Reading the Sun and Guardina pieces side by side it is hard to believe they are describing the same policy. That kind of spin might have worked in 1990s but in a social media ecosystem where anger goes viral is is likely to generate own goals
And once again, I ask whether Ministers and No10 realise that the readership of one paper can in fact read the contents of another.

Labour's MP for Folkestone says the government has taken "the wrong turning" on its plans for asylum seekers.
