This is what will happen to Labour. By copying Denmark's hardline immigration policies, as announced by Home Sec today, they'll lose London, the country & the next election. In fact, given their incompetence since taking power, it feels like they've already lost.

1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution.
The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

The first record I remember buying with my own pocket money — as opposed to Wombles things my brother and I seemed to acquire etc — was this beast from the local Woolies by the Boomtown Rats. Got to No.1, thanks to me (maybe). Not long after, I got sucked into the 2-Tone phenomenon and I was away. X

To be effective, protest must be noisy, obstructive, annoying. No longer is this allowed. Now the last attribute of effective dissent – persistence – is also to be banned. But the moment protest ceases to be effective is the moment democracy dies. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
