    Hmmm….I predict a handbrake style u-turn of the kind Johnson used to favour.

    #Starmer, who is advising you? Because this is flat footed, nasty politics…the likes of which we’ve not seen since erm…#Sunak.

    "Labour’s collective belief in the dignity of labour regularly curdles into two toxic ways of thinking. One is a belief that paid employment is the only reliable gauge of people’s esteem; the other is a queasiness about disability that sometimes lurks just below the surface. There is also an apparently desperate need to counter any suggestion that Labour ministers are liberal fainthearts. In March, the justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, offered a curt explanation of why the government was set on its plan: “This is the Labour party. The clue is in the name. We believe in work”."

    Labour's approach to immigration seems reactionary, aiming to outflank Reform UK. But in doing so, is it losing its progressive identity?

    Migrant scapegoating. Empty slogans. “British values” tests. If Starmer’s so tough on immigration, why won’t he tax the rich hiring undocumented workers? Oh, right—that would upset his donors. This is what happens when a party runs out of courage. Labour’s drift isn’t just uninspiring—it’s dangerous. #Hypocrisy #CitizenshipDebate #LabourPolicy #DisabilityCuts #ReformMomentum ft.com/content/f844df48-09a3-4
