You're not going to win Reform voters, it's fucking whack-a-mole. Once you pull more to the right on this issue, the right wing mediasphere will latch onto another non-issue and complain you're not doing enough about that ad nauseum, until the end you might as well just call yourself Reform.

Ehud Olmert on previously defending Israel against accusations of war crimes: “In recent weeks I’ve been no longer able to do so. What we are doing in Gaza now is a war of devastation: the indiscriminate, limitless, cruel and criminal killing of civilians. […] Yes, Israel is committing war crimes.”

As so often, blue Labour very unclear about what its rhetoric means. A good case for challenging initiatives that appear unfair/unbalanced (eg: sentencing council). Do Blue Labour "root out DEI" oppose/support Reform's proposal to repeal the 2010 Equality Act? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

1/10 🧵 Two stories this week reveal how British institutions still seek to dominate and police Irish nationalism 26 years after the Good Friday Agreement. The Adams v BBC case and Kneecap terror charges show a pattern of institutional hostility to Irish republican expression.

This is straight up scaremongering by Healey, and pretty damn offensive. The UK takes a fraction of the number of people seeking asylum many other countries do. It also has some of the most draconian anti-asylum policies, including from Labour, you can get. #r4today news.sky.com/story/britai...

It used to be the case that former UK prime ministers would go to countries like Hungary to promote liberal democracy. Now, they go to praise fascistic illiberal democracies in order to promote the same ideology in Britain. And the chattering classes still believe that "it couldn't happen here."
