In response to having their arses handed to them yesterday, the Labour party are apparently doubling down on their xenophobic, Reform-lite immigration policies.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/feb/27/shabana-mahmood-stick-hardline-migration-policies-byelection-defeat@xtaldave yeah they're turning into Tories, but in pink. I'm more green these days than Labour - and I've been die hard Labour for decades.

@nomenloony same here. I have been Labour for 20 years. I joined the Greens before the last election.
Starmer's govt is so disappointing after 14 years of Tory slash-and-burn

@xtaldave To Mirpur, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan. After all, she sends kids back to where their parents come from so I am only asking for consistency.

@Black_Flag I see the point you're making. And you're right, I'm 100% not comfortable with fighting fire with fire. That's what Reform would do.
