Unfair, it's always been very useful for hiding the proceeds of crime.

Shabana Mahmood's proposal to stop being told to "go back home" is to send people "home". Her proposal to stop black and brown people from feeling like they don't belong, is to bake in to the immigration system that they will never belong.

Cowardice is the defining characteristic of the Starmer administration.

This is a government that tends to punch down.

The Starmer office's freakout over Ulez and Uxbridge really was the most significant thing they did in opposition, in that it showed a basic inability to grasp 'unpopularity is what the middle years of your term in office are FOR'.

A real dilemma when you see a BMW struggling to gain traction in the snow.
Do you just walk past or do you gather passers-by together and organise them into a group to point and laugh?

Great final para:

"In the meantime, if people are nostalgic for life without smartphones (young or old), there is an obvious option. Just put your device down and go outside. It’s a lot like the 1990s out there, only the streets are safer and the air is cleaner."

Yes and no. Totally correct about Starmer's long-evident cowardice and the possibility of being dull *and* inept, but for his bit to be true he's need to be about 10 years old...

"The result was the softest treatment of an incoming government I can remember."

When a Labour government sees the approval of Tommy Robinson as more important that the approval of the Labour Party membership, things are probably going wrong

Defence of Labour asylum policy reveals backsliding on racism Home secretary’s framing of failures is partly low politics, but also a result of ministers’ poor approach to race relations

Labour’s β€œwe have to do it, or racism will get worse” argument is striking. Any other public policy failures British ethnic minorities should be on the hook for? Can we be blamed en bloc for Rachel Reeves’ budget next week too? www.ft.com/content/37b0...

Listening to Steve Reed explain on the radio today that he can't say what Mahmood's plan means for kids of people who give birth after they've been granted asylum because that's a hypothetical Q govt can't be expected to answer right now made me think these reforms are going to unravel quite fast

I think I can see the problem...

You say: "Unity, decency, and determination are our common British values."

The current Labour leadership has precisely *none* of these qualities.

No way back for Labour with Starmer as leader.

He has to go. You know it, we know it, he presumably knows it.

Why does someone like Shabana Mahmood join the Labour Party?

Genuinely baffling.

So the solution is… to join in?

I'm afraid the β€œdark forces” are calling from inside the house at this point.

I think that Labour MPs must make a stand and call for a leadership election to oust Starmer and his far right cronies from the Labour Party.

And we must go to the streets to protest this.

One can only presume that the proposal to pull their gold teeth out didn't focus group well.

Or maybe that's being saved for next week?

and it's a feature, not a bug, of whatever mangled faction this is that is running Labour. these people are able to do one thing and one thing alone - fight factional wars against the left.

they're absolutely shit at literally anything else.
