Starmer's language was deplorable. It was grotesquely offensive, accusing people who have brought their gifts to this country of doing "incalculable" "damage"; & politically foolish, in endorsing Farage's claims of an establishment conspiracy. But bad analogies with Powell miss the key problem. 🧵

Handful of people piping up with "whilst I do not care for the TONE of Starmer's speech I don't think open borders are a good thing methinks" like we've ever had open borders at any point in the past 500 years.

After nearly 10 years of Brexit debate, it's quite remarkable to see how many commentators and policymakers in the UK still can't get their heads around the reality that most of their counterparts in the EU don't think much about the UK at all.

To all those accusing me (again 🙄) of being a NIMBY: Given that the government's own analysis shows environmental protection doesn't impede housebuilding, kindly explain how trashing wildlife and habitats will take us any closer to getting the homes we need? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The worst element of what happened this week isn't even about immigration specifically. It's that Starmer surrendered against populism.

A letter which appears to be from the Home Office informing Gloucester’s councils that a former social club is being requisitioned to be run as a leisure centre for migrants is fake. The local MP and councils have confirmed it is a hoax.

One thing that is irksome about the “actually the island of strangers is about social isolation” line is okay, how does doubling the permanent residency requirement help with this?

Again, regardless of the actual policy (and I do think there's value in thinking on how you can have most impact on a constrained budget), the rhetoric is horrible and goes against everything I voted for www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I don’t think anybody has suggested Southport was “a fascist uprising”. Rather it presented an excuse for a lot of racist people to spread racist conspiracy theories and engage in and incite racist violence. That is a matter of record. The desperation to pretend otherwise is bizarre.

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months. The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

There's something so nimminy pimminy about our Labour Government that is utterly infuriating. Be bold! Don't dance to Reform UKs tune!! Don't give them that validity and power!!!

Gov't criticised from all sides. From the right, "not enough". From all others for its awful rhetoric.

I made a few million for a newspaper (The Telegraph before it went mad), had a hand in the capital spending distribution for Millennium celebration buildings, was a Museum Director and now manage a city wide cultural programme. Oh, and I married one of the locals.

How nice to be told by Keir Starmer that my mother who delivered babies, as a midwife, worked nights and damaged her back lifting patients as a nurse, was a pillar of her community as a health visitor has caused “incalculable damage” to the UK !

Those who are uncomfortable with this Labour immigration announcement, but think it's necessary to satisfy Reform voters, this is for you. You will not satisfy. You will never satisfy.

I hope you’re not waiting for some clever defence of Starmer’s speech. As you know, I try to be fair and have praised him on foreign policy. I don’t think the White Paper is terrible, but ALL of the language surrounding it is inexcusable, insupportable, and indefensible. He can kiss my migrant butt.

Starmer is simultaneously detoxifying Reform and toxifying the Labour Party. I ask again, what is he playing at?

Toughening migration rules doesn’t challenge Reform. It validates them.

Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.

‘Island of strangers’ is very ‘citizens of nowhere’. In so many, disappointing ways, Starmer is like May. Hearing Labour repeat ‘take back control’ actually makes me feel sick. Using the language of the far right and accepting their terms of ‘debate’ is normalisation.
