This whole summer only one story has dominated our entire politics & it comes down to literally 30,000 people in hotels. Ridiculous. The government needs to get a GRIP it’s pathetic.

I actually blame Labour more than Reform for it. Labour's rhetoric on immigration borders on racism. Since "make Brexit work" Labour moved so much to the right that they are now no better than Reform.

Labour should just be saying the facts - The Tories broke the whole system and will take time to employer new people, train them and get the system working properly.

Apparently people are sick of Labour having pointed this out ever since the election, so too many have now decided that everything which has gone badly wrong over many years is the fault of the 14 month old government. 😒

That's not who Labour are. You have to recognise that Labour became unsalvagable in 2020. The clique running it is abusing the party machinery to make sure they can't be displaced. This is their ideology not them being weak.

Labour in 2025 are no different from Labour in 2010. Remember the anti immigration coffee mugs? Remember Iraq? Remember Labour supporting austerity? You have to remember the Corbyn era was the outlier. This fantasyt version of Labour that people have in their heads never existed.

In 2010 there was still a chance of Corbyn happening. That's simply not the case now.

LOL Corbyn is a piece of shit. He's just been on stage with a deeply anti-LGBT right wing MP celebrating their new party.

He's not a peice of shit he's just hopelessly naive and has somehow picked up the bizarre idea that anyone who opposes something he opposes must be decent.

Regardless by "chance of Corbyn happening" I meant "chance of someone on the left winning the leadership/having a chance to determine policy". Corbyn's failures are a completely different topic

I would like someone on the left but Corbyn and his cult ruined that just as much as Blue Labour have.

Labour stopped "saying the facts" when they *chose* make Brexit work over opposing Brexit. Labour is complicit in Brexit and what is happening right now. It's time Labour supporters stopped making excuses.

If we don't make our current situation work then we are fucked. You would bankrupt the country rather than accept we cannot rejoin right now.

The minor problem is Starmer's Blue Labour Brexit red lines make it impossible to make UK's current situation work. UK decided to leave EU but never endorsed Johnson and Starmer's hard Brexit that's causing so much damage to UK.

100%. As absolutely despicable as Reform and their policies are, at least this stuff is what they've _always_ been crowing about. For Labour to essentially heel-turn and, through their inaction, legitimise the opinions and actions of those on the right, is arguably *more* despicable.

I get the point, but letting them work would, in effect, allow them to stay as it would make them legal asylum seekers. The answer is that the processing of their claims that needs speeding up and the rapid deporting of failed asylum seekers.

Three quarters of all asylum claims are accepted. I have no issues regarding them working

Yes. I could easily come up with dozen more-important issues than this nonsense. It's a disatraction from the issues we *should* be angry about.

The government can’t & shouldn’t control the media. The majority of the current media in this country, including the BBC, are paying homage to the far right/farage, what is the answer?

It's dominated the press, the TV news, across parts of social media. It is the only thing breakfast TV and R4 seem to want to ask politicians even when they are there to outline childcare or other progressive policies. Almost as if the hate needs to be constantly fed to keep it going.

This looks exactly like Australia's fascist playbook on immigrants (both major parties). I hope you have people looking at the tactics they used here.

Starmer is incapable of getting a grip unfortunately. He'll check with McSweeney and Farage first what type of grip to get and how tight it should be.

He's not incapable. He *has* a grip. Stop pretending he's secretly decent.

I'm not. I think he's weak and incapable. Difference of opinion you see. And that's OK.
