I’m in exactly the same place, and I think a lot of others are too.

Even if (when) Labour do a sudden pro-EU pivot when they can’t ignore the polls any more, I will have lost all respect for them

So good to see a list from Labour that doesn’t include toxic statements targeted at immigrants.

What ‘safe’ means do you suggest an asylum claimant uses to get to the UK?

If safety is the main concern, perhaps we could rethink our policy of requiring family members seeking a reunion to go to a British Consulate when this requires them to travel across a war zone to a neighbouring country

Maybe not… but if the government refuses to even start working on it… the economics are clear cut; popular support is in place; what is stopping them?

Don’t disagree with you on the ‘done some good things’ and tax front; just sharing the view that they are failing horribly in other areas (most notably that involve conscience (Gaza) or perceived threat from Reform (migration)). Leadership requires speaking out, not following the opinion polls

The Tories did leave a mess; and we can’t have European level services at US level taxes… But let’s target them at those that can best afford them… and while we’re at it, maybe boost the economy by reversing as much of Brexit as fast as possible

If it is so great, then why do Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper need to spend so much time gaslighting refugees?
