Alex Norris knowingly speaking misleading incendiary nonsense. The UK spends 0.014% of its budget on refugees. This is aside from the net economic benefits of migration. Painting this in zero sum economic terms is absurd - the cruelty is the point and these people should be haunted forever by this.

A month ago I looked at what I called Labour's midlife crisis- an obsession with chasing socially conservative Reform-curious voters and ignoring groups of disaffected voters with social attitudes much closer to Labour voters. But some people thought there was method in their madness. Was there? 1/n
