PM surely as a country we are better than this (Reform setting the agenda on immigration)

[malumbu]

I wrote to Ellie during Labour conference due to their continued focus on the boats telling her that most of my friends and family believe there are more important things to focus on than the small boats.  That does not mean it should not be addressed, but sadly this has become a toxic issue stirred up by Reform, the right wing media/rabid social media, to a lesser extent Bedenock and Philp, and sadly Labour itself.  Mahmood's statement today that illegal migration is "tearing the country apart" makes me shudder.  All credit to Plaid Cymru for their stance in the Caerphilly Welsh Parliament by-election.

PM and Home Secretary you are encouraging this.  Just repeat after me "as a country we are better than this".

Well perhaps some will think that I live in a liberal bubble and I am not in touch with the 'common people".  I'd like to think we are all better than this. And that includes the other culture wars that Reform will continue to stoke up including Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and gender politics.

Absolutely mental what Labour have become/are doing 

because I’m me - I am going to say, it was the denial of reality that was the 2016 referendum, the genuflection of it ever since and the aggressive behaviour of the right wing press ever since that have cowed weak, spineless politicians 

Until them at shibboleth is defeated, we can replace governments and leaders as much as we want - won’t make a tack of difference 

we are in bizarro world since 2016 - only the electorate recognising that vocally will we see improvements 

without that, every government, party and leader will be in hock to fantasists 

(there are things govts can do regardless of Brexit. Of course there are. But the root - the root problem - will continue to infect)
