Labour needs to drop the "open borders" rhetoric, and start focusing on shifting language to being about how and why immigration is a benefit. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024...

I don't love it either, but I'm not sure how you tell a man that he should let his only surviving son rot in prison to respect norms, institutions, and the rule of law, when the country you devoted your life to serving just pretty comprehensively voted they don't give a shit about any of that.
