IMO, both Starmer's recognition that migration is part of Britain's national story, and the warning that without more control "we risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forward together" does a pretty good job of capturing where most Brits are on immigration.

They never had a plan. They just lied and lied and lied. Both Brexit and Immigration are the most dishonest and ruinous policies going. A Tory/Farage conspiracy of deceit that Labour seems to want to protect rather than challenge. As for Chris Philp - get in the bin. news.sky.com/story/leaked...

Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride says the leaked recording of Chris Philp, of him admitting the UK can't return asylum seekers to Europe post-Brexit (despite promises made at the time), is just "blindingly obvious". Well, yeah. But it wasn't made blindingly obvious to those who voted Leave, was it?

On a normal day, I would expect @mrjamesob.bsky.social to be talking about Philps latest exposed tape....but no. He is now full on attacking Keir Starmer again. Since his aggressive refusal to defend his colleague Sanghita Myska it feels like he has been "got at". Yet again I sigh and switch over.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Starmer will not sacrifice our standards for a US deal. He will not compromise our NHS for a deal. There isn't a deal to be had the UK would want. He is waiting for Trump to fail and preparing for the fallout. Criminal behaviour is something he is experienced at dealing with
