At some point the UK will have to talk positively about immigration for that to really work. Can you honestly see that being doing by either the Home Secretary or the PM that kept her in place and still talks of immigration as if it’s something that ought to be eliminated?

Burnham’s speech is the best from a British politician in yrs. He’s the first leader with policies that I can truly get behind in over a decade. He actually said everything I wish Starmer had said months ago, as per my article below. The similarities are uncanny!!!🧵 bylinetimes.com/2026/05/12/t...

I’m not one of the 48% asked. I’m not one of the 48% in support. And many pensioners have paid their dues over 50+ years. Those ‘dues’ were supposed to ensure a state pension that didn’t leave them on the bread line … FFS

Macron: “Brexit is the biggest lie of the last 30 years. “Those who said, "We will be richer" - eight points of GDP less ten years later. "”We will solve the problem of immigration" - it is more complicated than before. "”We are going to crush it in international trade" - it is worse.”

Not in any measurable way until any of it is actually put into action. We had similarly warm words about youth mobility too but sod all happened there.

We still have the continued presence of Mahmood in government and the fact that even Burnham is still talking about immigration as if it needs to be eradicated. Neither of those things requires waiting for a general election before changing them. Yet here we are. It’s the weakest of glimmers.

Patrick Seurre @patrick.seurre.com · 14h
We’ve had glimmers before, albeit on a smaller scale (potential freedom of movement for young people for example). Nothing has ever come of it.

Patrick Seurre @patrick.seurre.com · 14h
It would require amongst other things the government to be both willing and able to talk positively about immigration. It’s still difficult to believe that will happen any time soon no matter how many warm words about the EU appear in speeches. Mahmood is the millstone hanging round Labour’s neck

How Burnham is going to try and balance proposals for a National Care Service, while supporting Mahmood's immigration policies is going to...interesting, and by "interesting" I mean fundamentally unworkable. It just cannot work with the hostile immigration policies being pushed.
