Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

What Labour should be doing is creating a new narrative about immigration - about welcoming people who make a contribution but reducing the numbers who don't. Pretending to be super tough pisses off liberals and won't be believed by Reform voters.

Democracy is under greater threat than at any time since the early years of WW2. Farage is a tool of the new fascist axis. That's why we need to muster the largest possible anti-Farage vote in the local elections. If you're angry with Labour, vote LibDem or Green. Don't abstain. #Vote4Democracy
