"It is not obvious what electoral benefit the government expects to gain from its current stance."
This, by @anandmenon.bsky.social, is so good
As I wrote these words last autumn: “We have made progress... even though that progress remains fragile and insufficient”, little did I realise just how ...
How about doing what it promised re immigration in its manifesto? 🤔 This govt really can do nothing right for some. If you're looking for 'acceptable' racism, take a look at the msm, Farage & his ilk, & these craziest waving flags outside hotels.

In 02/2025, after The Observer was sold by Guardian Media Group to Tortoise Media, Cadwalladr revealed the new owners declined to renew her freelance contract .
Her final column for The Observer ran on 20 April 2025 . Go write an opinion article now. Just stop pretending. You get paid by the devil
Labour aren't worried about the electors, it's about their corporate backers. That why there are SEZs, no return to EU and the ongoing removal of rights. Both main parties have committed to the UK becoming a corporate state.
It is obvious. By leaning into the apparently "legitimate" immigration concerns, of these Reform leaning voters, these potentially defecting Labour voters will be recovered! The fact that you cannot lean far enough into hate, for these social inadequates, is a mere detail!!
I means it clearly isn't electorally beneficial which leaves only one option. This is who they are.
it’s not about electoral benefit.
You've got to wonder if Labour have a Reform secret agent running their strategy.
By shoving the Overton window to the far right they are making Farage appear mainstream.
Why can't Labour members see the risk?
It is moving - but 'under a supposedly “progressive” Labour government that seems strangely reluctant to stand up for ethnic minorities' is naive. Nothing leading-up to GE24 indicated they would be anything other than 'anti-progressive' in this area (but too many idiots ignored that, & voted 4 them)
