Starmer and his backers are committed to appeasing the far right. Is anyone from the British media going to ask minorities eg Muslims and Jews how they're feeling right now, or has the pretence that that sort of thing matters in the slightest been entirely abandoned?
I beg to differ, Jones is a fairweather stenographer for his paymaster, he does as he was told like good poodle. Do your research, I suggest you start with Alex Nunns. The candidate
I mean she's banned arms sales to Israel which Sir Kier wouldn't even countenance so they might agree on some things but he's still a bit too far right for her but on others

How about making the world a fair place and not raping other countries of their resources? The gulf of inequality has long been a reason for migration to the rich countries. Now, tragically, the #ClimateEmergency & senseless wars are making many places uninhabitable! (War was a factor before too)
Only by the quality of some of the responses. Politicians know what they’re doing with words. Making life difficult for the only major European election winner that isn’t avowedly right wing is a perfectly plausible objective for Meloni.
You just know that turd will find some opportunity to stick his nose up musks bumhole... Although farage is quite the accomplished toady, so there may be a little slap fight first.
Unfortunately for the left, the most i have heard the left say is immigration positive. That was the Greens... But the left cant say anything more or come up with a full alternative plan to deal with immigration and challenge the right wing New Labour or far right Farages.
That's because 'immigration' is not an issue. It's a container for tons of other issues caused by austerity - collapsing public services, housing shortages, poverty, etc - which all get labelled as 'immigration' by right-wingers and red-top rags.
Immigration, the issue of, is a vessel for the far right. One that has seen them win and continue winning in case you haven't noticed. Wrongly or rightly it chimes in electorates.
Britain has always had immigration laws of some kind. I want the real left to be capable of defining the fairer, kinder, better alternative. Hit the far right back - deny them their space. Not hand it to them a platter.
Also IMHO, Italy really bore the brunt of crossings. The Russians use migrants as weapon by thrusting them on EU borders. Not having solid upto date plans on immigration is like going to the north pole in bermuda shorts.
Left has to wake up. Virtue signalling alone won't cut it.
If only there was a mechanism, where people requiring or desiring sanctuary from wars and famine could apply, their application processed, considering we are greatly responsible for said disasters, before they undertake dangerous journeys? If only we had returns agreement for those don’t qualify?

D'yer see a problem?
That is dire in itself.
Address the underlying issues, not 'immigration'.
Ignore that fact at your own peril.
In case you didn't notice, that's still fascism.
We can and should build a new narrative. Starmer et al are unwilling out of sheer cowardice.
