They’re not trying to placate the far-right and Reform; they are trying to absorb them, unaltered. To speak as though they are trying to ameliorate or attenuate the ascendant fascist drives in the country is to do free PR on their behalf.

I think it’s erroneous to call Labour’s strategy ‘appeasement’. Labour is dominated by its right-wing, reactionary centrists who share the far-right’s analysis and solutions, subtended by a drive to eliminate the left and a belief in their electoral inevitability. It’s affinity and arrogance.

He stees you when you're stleeping.

One last thing. All those Labour supporters posting pretty infographics about all the achievements, this new proposed policy on refugees is the kind of thing that means those infographics don't make any difference to the polls. One piece of vicious xenophobia drowns it all out.

Starmer has done nothing but Morgan McSweeney has been dropped from Beard of Year longlist kmflett.wordpress.com/2025/11/14/m...

At a certain point, it's not "political strategy" from Labour anymore. They are just racists.

One thing I will say is that this immigration-bashing "strategy" is now indelibly Starmer's. It is Starmerism. Cooper was inertia personified but Mahmood is Starmer's key departmental promotion, brought in to do just this And given that Starmer looks doomed, what future does this strategy have?

Labour MPs who are not on board with the constant stream of racism and xenophobia coming from the government and party leadership (I assume there are some!) should speak up against it now. Otherwise it will be reasonable to believe they are in fact ok with it.

The real story here is that George Osborne had Mandelson to dinner for a three hour conversation on the present situation www.thenational.scot/news/2562159...

The time has come, it seems, that Starmer's labour must be regarded as an overtly racist party. Not only this, it's shameful complicity in the genocide in Palestine. Whether by design or 'pragmatic' pursuit of far right votes, its deeds condemn it.

"Labour are somewhere between 1950s Tory reactionaries and the 70s NF" Yikes, brutal and undeniably true.....and very funny

Labour turning the dial that says "racism" and looking back towards the public like a contestant on the price is right only to discover every time they turn the dial the only thing that changes is Reform's increasing vote share. Your strategy of xenophobia has already failed. More won't help.

If the government really intends to seize jewellery and other valuables from refugees, either - it is staggeringly ignorant of the historical precedents or - it's aware of the precedents, and thinks, yeah, we'll have some of that. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

On Tuesday, Keir Starmer said he was concerned that racism was returning to British politics. This morning, his Home Secretary is loudly letting the world know that the government intends to make the lives worse of even those found to be genuine refugees.

These are the shark eyed psychopaths who are running our country. Cold, malicious liars who conned their entire voting base.

Labour's strategy of telling its supporters to back Reform-style policies, or get a Reform Government, is the politics of the protection racket. Here's why it's not going to work www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/shabana-ma...

If the government "only" has a £20bn hole in the finances to fill, they ought to do Zack Polanski's wealth tax - predicted to bring in, I believe, £16-25bn per annum. But they are a rubbish government in thrall to big money. Better join the Greens! 💚 join.greenparty.org.uk

What is truly pathetic about Labour is that this is all they have got. They have failed so spectacularly already, despite a whacking great majority, to even attempt to govern positively that all they have is punching down on marginalised groups and saying "oh but Reform will be worse".

There is no logistical challenge to us, in fact it’s the opposite. Our birth rate is dropping like a stone and it’s not going to recover anytime soon. We need immigration and this racist Labour Party are setting fire to our economy by enacting these policies

Labour are full to the brim with racists, scumbags and the worst people in our country. People who vote Labour must be sick in the head

Thinking about my own father, who arrived in 1946 with the Free Polish Army - when would Labour have sent him back to communist Poland? How could he have done anything to build a life and have children in the UK if he had had to beg to stay every two years? Disgusting. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Vote Labour, get Reform

This version of the Labour government would try to deport my Polish great-grandfather to the Soviet Union. Cannot express how deeply I hold this government in contempt

You're 100% right, but you spelt 'cunt' wrong... #Labour #Starmer

Labour hate the sick, disabled and the mentally ill. Labour hate immigrants and anything to do with them. Labour hates our country, they hate our economy and they hate who we are. Labour hates YOU. NEVER vote Labour again

“Why” because blue Labour are lazy racists who are destroying our country and economy to please a minority of filthy racists in our country. If you vote Labour you are now a racist.

Pure psychopaths. This isn’t a Labour Party. Morgan McSweeney and Starmer have conned the whole country.

Yes. Next question. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/as-no1...

Interesting to read in the Times of Labour Ministers admitting that the Green Party are very much ready to take them (and Reform) on. "Polanski plans to redistribute power with a smile." www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Sounds like slave labour to me. Everything Labour does is atrociously appalling and sickening

A vote for Labour is a vote for Reform

Our Home Secretary IS a racist and this guy is being made to look like your typical Labour cultist. The denial being shown by these mindless Starmerite melons is quite shocking

All those staunch Centrists and Starmerites will still be wanging on about how bad Reform would be, while they defend this fucking disgusting Reform-esq behaviour

Interview with Sky News on yet another week with questions around this Labour Government and their conduct in office. Everyone's exhausted - it doesn't need to be this way. Lower bills. Tax billionaires. We can make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Labour shows nothing but contempt for our natural world. You can tell what kind of person someone is by how they treat nature. You can tell Labour are psychopaths.

🗣 @zackpolanski.bsky.social: "Keir Starmer is handing this country on a plate to Nigel Farage". 🛑 It's time to replace Labour and stop Reform. join.greenparty.org.uk ✅️

Zack Polanski said his job was to make Labour more worried about the Green Party than ReformUK. 😁

Morgan McSweeney and Keir Starmer have destroyed the Labour Party

I think it's exactly that. He's subcontracted his political thinking to McSweeney and his economic thinking to Reeves with entirely predictable consequences.

He can’t move McSweeney because he’s subcontracted his thinking to him.

US media from all political corners are frantically trying to avoid this particular Epstein email.

In case you missed it among the rest of the ghastly mayhem.

Another resounding green win with over 50% of the vote

I think this is the first time I've EVER heard a politician speak the unflinching truth like this instead of cowardly skirting round the issue. In so doing, @zackpolanski.bsky.social speaks up for all those groups threatened by Trump's actions. We need far more of this courage in politics.

People have tried to say that the Green surge is just on social media. Or in a bubble that's just about polls and just about new members. Yet up and down the country - Greens are also winning elections. Huge congratulations to the Canterbury Greens! 💚🎉 Join.greenparty.org.uk

Starmtroopers are like performance art by the dullest boomers you've ever seen

Labour could blot out the sun and some of their defenders would clap like seals. People who defend Labour on here are in a nasty little cult. Like an island of strangers.

The Reformification of Labour continues at a rocket rate. They seem determined to ensure they will poll in the teens come the 2029 GE. There is no way that the kind of voters attracted by this sort of performative cruelty will choose Cruelty-light Labour over Full-fat Cruelty Reform. Not a chance.
