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.

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'.

In a couple of decades the average American will be perfectly spherical.
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. Itβs 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."

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 βdark forcesβ are calling from inside the house at this point.

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.
