Reposted by Dr Alex FitzpatrickSir Almaviva @ilcontealmaviva.bsky.social · 11hImmigration is mentioned 4 times in Burnham's conference speech. The first 3 repeat the idea that we "lost control" over immigration, or that control was "weakened", and the fourth says that we need to work with the EU on immigration. Nothing about the positives of immigration or immigrants' rights. 1189
