On a focus group of Muslim voters in Gorton and Denton:
"Participants expressed genuine concern about Reform and the rise of overt racism... troublingly for Labour, participants held the Prime Minister as equally culpable for fostering a culture of hostility."

Once the enemy [the Left] had been defeated, his coalition lost its unifying purpose... Starmer’s team began using their well-worn anti-left tactics against each other – each believing that *they* would never be the victim. - @graceblakeley.substack.com
