Stop the hate against pensioners & elderly! Labour keep going on about a black hole, but are still happy to take pay rises, expense claims for heating, etc, and gratuities from donors, etc. if the nations finances are that bad, start leading by example and make in house cuts first!
... you fucking idiots. Even if it wasn't the most cowardly morally vacuous possible thing to do, any child can look at the long history of centrists handing elections to fascists by trying to out-fascist the fascists and see what a terrible idea this is.
This group of Labour MP’s don’t want to fend off the threat of Reform. They are just racists who want to do racist things while pretending they aren’t racist.
They need to point out that it's a group of millionaires intent of destroying public services. Playing the race card will lose votes in other areas that aren't listening to Reform
It will NEVER be enough to win this argument with a right wing fake party who only have ONE agenda. What Labour need is an actual, modern, workable immigration policy, which includes pathway to citizenship. They’ll never beat reform at being reform. Ask the Tories.
You don’t beat the far right by trying to occupy their space. You beat them by building a left that is confident, uncompromising, and rooted in the struggles of the working class.
You can't out Farage Farage. The government has the ability to shape the political agenda, they need to stop all their political capital being wasted on Reform's talking points and start talking about the Labour vision for the country - don't be reflexively reactive.
If Labour match Reform policies then the people already rejecting Labour, towards Reform, would choose Reform because they already feel that Labour aren't satisfying their needs.
Personally I'd like to see policies and hear about strategies other than those based on immigration and division.
Or they could do something about the standard of living so people won’t be so easy to manipulate by the charlatans going round saying immigrants have it better?
Their wins are ones I celebrate every day but they are just not cutting through even with centre left voters who are ready to be courted. What happened to constant campaign mode?
'Tougher on migration' how?
They need to explain the case for controlled migration and how it will benefit the society they want to build through the improvements in infrastructure and services that many migrants work in. Students bring in money. And sympathetic treatment of refugees.

This is the singularly most STUPID thing I've ever heard! And there's been a lot of stupid going around lately. We have got to stop this increase in polarization around certain topics. Which is exactly why Reform seek to make everything about those things.
These dimwits seem incapable of understanding that they need to provide an alternative to Reform's poison, not a diluted version of it. The racists are always going to vote for the real thing, not a pale imitation.
Hey hi, American Democrat here. That centrist shit does not work. Look across the Atlantic at the shit show our old guard democrats and their consultants got us into by trying to sway moderates.
The whole of the Labour Party MPs should be on this because they promised they would reduce and stop the boats, not because there's risk of losing their seats, they'll be pay rises in April so maybe they should earn it do their jobs and get it sorted.
Silly and shortsighted. How about making a proper case for immigration, that the economy and so many sectors of industry will recover when we have the people to do the jobs? Make a positive case for immigration and these nasty little xenophobes will hopefully fvck off.

Trouble is, No 10 is inhabited by someone stupid enough to do it...
Reform UK PLC are one-trick ponies, and if you take away their anti-immigration trick, they are left without a show.
To paraphrase
"Group of Labour MPs urge No 10 to alienate the majority of people who voted for them."

The Tories tried to take Farridge's policies and look where it got them.
Now a load of Labour fools want to give it another go.
Labour is polling atrociously *because* it has already ceded every argument to right-wingers framing.
Incidentally, Corbyn was the only Labour leader to gain more votes since 1997. Left policies are the only way to reverse the rot.

So maybe try leading, rather than reacting...
