As #COP30 is underway, the #climatecrisis worsens working conditions for millions, destroys people's livelihoods and forces many to migrate under risky conditions, increasing their vulnerability to #humantrafficking. Check out our new issue at antitraffickingreview.org/index.php/at... #UNFCCC

A part might be (big 'might') that in the past, he wanted them as an excuse/ ladder to blow up a deal, and this time he actually feels like it's in his best interest to move ahead and give it to Trump, and they were warned not to screw this up. Whether such a warning could even work is a question.

โ€œNigel Farage is wrong in principle, his approach is racist, and we oppose itโ€

โ€œNigel Farage is right on immigration, but he doesnโ€™t have the skill or experience to deliver his plansโ€

At some point, the government has to pick *one* of these narratives, instead of veering wildly between the two.
