I hope…my fear is that peoples lives won’t have improved enough for them to be steered away from a vote for populist simple solutions that can’t work. Their voters
Still think Brexit didn’t work because of the left. We’re the US but one election cycle behind.

Sure from a moral perspective, but they’ll win the election. The US is a mirror image of- telling the public that Trump is bad didn’t work - people held their nose

The approach to taking down Farage has to shift away from showing he’s bad. The people that like him don’t mind these views of his - or agree with them. It surely must be about showing something more important to them than immigration is in jeopardy

That’s not to be flippant - terror can be the minor thing I mentioned up to the most terrifying situation those poor people faced - but feeling terror doesn’t make the cause a terrorist

Poor take. Terrorism has a specific definition. I felt terror for a second when I dropped my phone, hoping the screen hadn’t smashed.

It would be a blessing if reform takes control of lots of councils with a few years before the general election- they’ll mess it up, giving everyone a snapshot and they’ll be toast by 2029

Not sure what the problem is with his statements that people that have failed to be accepted as genuine asylum seekers and are not under serious threat (by definition) should be allowed to stay based upon what amounts to a legal technicality. What’s the argument to allow right to stay?

Don’t check which documents?

Real time check of right to work… If employers know they can’t plausibly deny knowledge (because they’re required to check the digital ID), the risk of heavy fines or prosecution for hiring illegal workers becomes higher.

The extra security around a digital ID is also why we have passports to travel rather than only needing a number like a NI number

NI numbers are shareable but digital IDs won’t be.

Of course he did. He might get kudos for stating a high moral principle as the reason but he would lose a lot of votes. He’s a utilitarian rather than a deontologist. As he should be as leader of a diverse voting population.

Not sure about the logic of the article. One thing to say Brexit has caused huge harms but is the article suggesting calling it out will sate the demands of the Reform voter? They want Reform because they don’t want Others in the UK. Unfortunately these voters need satisfying one way or another.
