Announcing that you will ban sex offenders from seeking asylum on the eve of local elections is a thinly veiled attempt to look tough on 'illegal' immigration. Most newspapers will have a headline including the words sex offenders seeking asylum, adding the the increasingly normalised misconception that large swathes of those seeking asylum are criminals. Call it nonsense all you like, but it's the truth. Just wait for the local election results. |

Did you see that Labour received 1 million fewer votes at the last election? They won because the Tories were awful, and Reform split the right wing vote. Do you honestly think anybody voted Labour based on their immigration policies? Not even Labour know what they are.
People who's motivation to vote is centred on reducing immigration will not vote Labour. Labour win no additional votes with this rhetoric, all they do is normalise hostility to refugees and push the needle further to the right, exactly where Reform want it to be. |

Those right wing people despise Labour. Rather than stealing Reform votes, shifting to the right not only makes Labour looks like hypocrites, it galvanises the right still further. "Even two tier Kier wants to stop the boats now, or so he says. Bloody hypocrite. It's woke lawyers like him who let them in in the first place. Never trust Labour. Vote Reform. Stop the boats."
We need to counter the narrative set by reform, not join in with it. |

Of course it is, nobody would argue otherwise. My point is that announcing something that no doubt already takes places and is relevant to a miniscule fraction of cases, just to look tough before the local elections is a frankly pathetic way for a serious party to behave. It won't win them any votes, all it does is move mainstream politics closer to the Reform agenda, with the only beneficiaries being Reform. |

Newsnight is awful at the moment. It just allows cranks to spout nonsense unchecked. The interview with Douglas Murray last week was embarrassing.
I hate to say it but Iain Dale does a much better job of calling out lies on his show. [Post edited 30 Apr 10:02]

Absolutely. The gimmick they announced yesterday about sex offenders being barred from claiming asylum was such an obvious attempt to claw votes from reform in the local elections. It makes them look pathetic and out of touch, and just adds fuel to the narrative that those seeking asylum are largely criminals. |

My horrible prediction is that in early 2028 Farage will offer to disband Reform and Join the Tories on the condition that they have an immediate leadership contest with his name on the ballot. He then wins said competition comfortably before leading the Tories to Victory in 2029.
By 2029 Labour will be very unpopular largely down to not being able (or some may say not being willing) to repair the enormous damage done to the country after 14 years of Tory mis-rule.
Hopefully my political predictions are as accurate as my Town score predictions. [Post edited 29 Apr 16:05]

Why does she need to hold up a photo of Bezos? It adds nothing to what she's saying. In fact it's nearly as ridiculous as what she is saying.
This can't really last 4 years can it? The scary thing is that we're usually just a few years down the road from the Yanks when it comes to political trends, I can't wait for Prime Minister Nige! |

Was he backing in? I've watched it back a few times and it looks more like Palmer just bounces off him, I found it baffling in real time. I'd have been far less angry had that been given rather than the penalty. |

I saw it that the striker stood his ground and Palmer bounced off him, he's entitled to look in any direction he choses. Of course every defender called for it, it's their job, that doesn't make it a foul. It's not fun to have a go at Palmer, which I'm not anyway, I'm saying he made a mistake which fortunately he got away with. |

Also why was Delap booked for being persistently pushed. This league is so horrible, it must be rubbish being Palace. |
