He’s been clear. So have I. He can reach out to the red wall, or he can reach out to me. His pitch is to old reactionary farts. He will no doubt get a majority of those, unless they choose Reform. He has chosen the support of those who are a million miles away from me. Fuck Labour.

You’re not in a position of leadership in the UK like Starmer will be. If he thinks that by announcing things like this he can secure my vote, he can fuck off.

Only 24% of Le Pen’s Rassemblement National supporters say they're "not at all" racist. And this was in a face-to-face survey. (via Matt Singh)

Good letters in the Times warning of the dangers of populists who promise simple solutions to the terminally gullible, but deliver jack shit, then blame everyone else. And that’s not just Farage. That’s the Tory party since 2016. Let’s get rid. Time for change… and competence.

Immigration (as in Baaaaad immigration) is now so entrenched in the average UK voter’s worldview that there is no longer a discussion. They don’t see/understand/give a fuck about, but make up negative stuff about the economic benefits of immigration.

Utterly brilliant. But I made that same journey in the lifetime of the successive Conservative Governments that have devastated our country over the last 14 years.

It’s not a front. I’m sure Labour is bursting with ideas. But under Starmer, they are taking “safety first” to protect themselves from Tory attacks, to absurd lengths, IMHO.

Agree. All the right (Conservative, Reclaim) can talk about is the boats and culture wars. Why can't progressive parties project a narrative that is a) honest about the dire state of the UK and b) honest about what has to happen to fix things, however difficult?

Labour is so overly cautious that there's nothing to vote for, apart from "Not Conservative". Don't think I'll vote for them.

I’m not sure I want to review 2023 since 2022 meant the end of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, and how much better could it be, except we now have Rishi Sunak who is not an idiot or corrupt but still utterly useless.

Rishi Sunak has stated he'll increase the salary threshold for migrants to the UK from £26k to £38k. If that threshold had been in place in 2021, when I started in the UK as a university lecturer, I wouldn't have met it. The average migrant has no chance, and that's the point.

Whilst I accept that he was head and shoulders above current politicians, he did introduce that tax that made me, as a young and successful businessman, earning about £110,000, pay the highest rate of tax in the land, much, much more than fucking millionaires. I’ve never forgotten that.

Anti immigrant types all seem to ignore or minimise the negative economic consequences of reducing immigration. It’s just like brexit all over again. Could they be the same people I wonder 🤷♂️

“We” was Theresa May. Trying to prove her brexity credentials to the right wing nutcases in her party, she started the Article 50 process with no clear idea of her options or of the potential issues. Whilst her successor was much worse, she shoulders much of the blame for incompetence.

Today’s IEA’s new report claims that there isn’t a “discernible Brexit effect” on the British economy. My analysis shows a different picture: the UK’s has had the slowest GDP growth per capita among G7 economies. There’s only one significant point of difference between them, and it begins with a B.

“This is Brexit writ large: Higher costs, more bother, less choice, more red tape, lasting damage, a less attractive place to do business. And for the residents, a place where they will just have to learn to live with stock-outs and empty shelves.”
