Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

These are some of the most extreme restrictions on immigration in years. We're told to see them as benign because they're less bad than Farage's far-right extremism. But they are still terrible.

After Starmer’s immigration speech in May I wrote to my own Labour MP and to my late mother’s Labour MP whom my mother had worked for as an activist and ended up as twice Labour Lady Mayoress I got no reply. Sadly the email I sent then still seems relevant today.

I am writing to you both to express my severe disappointment in the recent statements made by The Prime Minister on immigration and social cohesion.
X, you are my excellent constituency MP here in X, and Y, you were my mother's excellent MP for many years.
My family is tribal Labour. We have supported Labour since 28th May 1912 when the Irish Labour Party was founded by a group of trades unionists including my mother's family.
I have voted Labour in every UK election since I turned 18.
So you will understand my dismay about language like "A squalid experiment",
"incalculable damage", and "and island of strangers". Whatever was meant by such words I and my diasporic friends heard it as language completely unacceptable from any Labour politician, let alone the Prime Minister.
And yes, I've read the somewhat desperate justifications from Number 10.
It does not matter who they meant to quote.

What I, my family and my friends heard was that we are squalid people who have wrought incalculable damage.
People respond to emotion first. If you have to explain your language afterwards you have failed. Communication is not about what you say, it's what people hear.
And this is not a one off. Last week the PM said that all "decent British people" greatly admire Churchill.
You will forgive me if those of us of Irish or Bengali descent have a different view.
I said that we are tribal Labour but I fear that that tribal support may end with my generation.

The LGBT members of the next generation hear from Labour that they are
"unnatural".
Unnatural, not a decent Britsh person, squalid, causing incalculable damage.
That is what they hear. It does not matter what Labour intended to say, it would not matter if the policies were the exact opposite. What they heard is what they heard.
We face an empowered far right resurgence supported by much of the media.
This could be the last liberal democratic government the UK has.
Which makes it all the more important for UK Labour to fight Reform and their
Tory friends.
Reform winning power would be horrifying.
So why is UK Labour continually repeating Reform's talking points? Why is UK Labour othering the very diasporic communities who have consistently organised for and supported UK Labour?

Why do I feel a sense of growing despair about UK Labour? Where is the courage? Where is the fight? The vision?
I'm a member of labour.ie in honour of my late mother.

To be honest l am not seeing much reason to join UK Labour.
