Labour didn't think reminding everyone of Enoch Powell's rivers of blood speech was enough, so are now reminding everyone of the literal Nazis stealing people's jewellery.

And you be fair the far right do seem to like it.

We need to obliterate them in the May locals.

Starmer’s anti-asylum policies show how utterly clueless he is about the right-wing media’s role in politics.

He’s trying to fix a “problem” contrived by Farage, GB News and The Telegraph. He’ll never win, because ultimately he’s fighting a ghost – he’s fighting something that doesn’t really exist

Sheer cruelty on display in the Home Secretary's proposed new asylum laws, which could see refugee families with children suddenly uprooted and deported after spending years rebuilding their lives in Britain. Shameful capitulation to Reform's agenda at the expense of the most vulnerable.

“It isn’t people seeking sanctuary who are tearing our country apart. It’s toxic, racist narratives and the scapegoating of migrants for crises they did not cause.”

Carla Denyer challenges the Home Secretary's new immigration reforms saying they just fuel far-right narratives.

The right wing approach now is to put me in a box with an incredibly successful politician who just won a stunning victory.

Is that gunning or gurning? With Farage it could be either.
🚨🚨Farage is gunning for #brexit 2.0 and Conservatives are on the band-wagon. Essential for making the ground work broadly among UK political leadership (Labour, Lib Dems and Greens) for a common positive defense of the #ECHR.

I hope every Labour MP considering whether to support Shabana Mahmood's asylum plans remembers Nigel Farage's assessment that the “Home Secretary sounds like a Reform supporter.”

If they support them they will too.

There has been a bad imbalance in the political classes thinking about what control means + how it combines with decency and fairness.

Labour did eventually challenge the Idi Amin Memorial Tribute of the Tory deportation bill - but why does the PM now think deporting refugees is "border control"?
Asked if Keir Starmer believes British people want to "see refugee children pulled out of school and deported after 10 years in this country”, his spokesman says that “what the British public wants and what this government was elected on a mandate to deliver was to secure our borders"

Knowing what Trump is like, I think Starmer and European leaders are guilty of appeasing him. A second state visit was not popular with the British public but was done merely to stroke Trump’s ego. He’s suing the BBC, behaves like a Mafia boss and is undermining US democracy. Why cosy up to him?

Leaving refugees in 20 years of limbo; ripping up human rights protections and stopping families from reuniting.

The Government isn't addressing hatred and division - it's giving in to extremists.

Labour’s contribution to the field of “least surprising opinion poll results” continues to to be very strong.
Those who hold more restrictive views on refugees are more likely to see Labour as pro-immigration, while those who hold more liberal views tend to see Labour as anti-immigration

These policies, where they aren't just reiterating ones which already exist in a differently worded form, are just plain idiotic.
They show not only a complete disregard for people's lives, or basic humanity, but also reality. 1/

People are right to be frustrated with the asylum system, but stoking division won’t fix it.

The Home Secretary should focus on solutions, not sensationalism.

The line “vote for us or you’ll get the far right” doesn’t really work when the policies you’re enacting are barely distinguishable from what the far right propose.

Late to this, but if the Sunday Times is correct that Morgan McSweeney spent one and a half hours last week with Lord Glasman then he isn't fit to fill any senior position in government.
