Group of Labour MPs urge No 10 to be tougher on migration to fend off Reform Exclusive: Pressure group set up by MPs from seats where Reform came second amid concern about party’s rise

When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives *now*
