I'd also contest Starmer's view that the only way to repair the social fabric is to be hostile to migrants. That sounds like creating an artificial homogenous 'in' group.. not repairing a broad social contract.

Completely agree. Ironically it will also help improve the chances of their political opponents in legitimising a narrative that essentially removes the humanity from these often poorly served and awkwardly placed humans.
