Irony being James Cleverly being more responsible for immigration coming down than Jenrick now in Reform UK who are now calling for an inquiry into the Boriswave.
What with higher salary thresholds at £38,800 for legal immigration, which madly Boris Johnson didn’t put in place when immigration became more global and less European in its nature.
Centre ground Pro Europeanism shouldn’t always be associated with Liberalism or the left, there just happens to be no Centre to Centre right Pro European Party to vote for atm. Though ironically on a ideological level Labour is somehow getting to that point. This is probably helped by the fact that Shabana Mahmood is taking a tougher line on controlling immigration in comparison to Labour’s left.
As long as Starmer somehow survives after the May elections and Rayner and Burnham are kept out. Burnham is too left wing and Rayner is Rayner who’s credibility is blown in the mind of the public over her tax issues. Labour still have a strange fascination because of social class stuff.
