Cracks are showing for Labour. Mutterings about broken promises & the threat of lifting children out of poverty at landowners' expense. I told Sir Keir that a man who doesn't exist said to me that the budget made him feel sad. Starmer laughed (internally). Chris Mason, Robbie Gibb's meat sleeve. BBC

Abysmal, mindless, utterly zombified. You can't even call it policymaking because that implies a degree of thought which simply isn't present. Pretty soon they might actually hit Cameron's 'tens of thousands' target and then they'll shit themselves with horror at the consequences.
PM describes net migration of 205k as "a step in the right direction". His govt has no public position on a sustainable level of immigration is, nor any known process to decide what, why & how. Starmer is now implying he wants it significantly lower

Reform love free speech while being perpetually offended any time someone asks them a very basic question.
It's a curious paradox.
Why doesn't he just laugh and say, "Of course he isn't" instead of getting so cross.
