Abysmal, mindless, utterly zombified. You can't even call it policymaking because that implies a degree of thought which simply isn't present. Pretty soon they might actually hit Cameron's 'tens of thousands' target and then they'll shit themselves with horror at the consequences.
PM describes net migration of 205k as "a step in the right direction". His govt has no public position on a sustainable level of immigration is, nor any known process to decide what, why & how. Starmer is now implying he wants it significantly lower

As the Budget concludes, Sir John Major's words are more relevant than ever. Both the Labour Government and Conservative opposition are being wretchedly timid in their policy aspirations. They must confront the consequences of Brexit if they want to prevent further damage.

🏦Bank of England business surveys estimates that Brexit has reduced UK GDP by 6%-8%.
📊For reference, a GDP that was 7 per cent higher would give £77 billion extra a year to the chancellor. More than half of the 2024-25 budget deficit of £137 billion.

🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.
A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:
A 6–8% hit to GDP
That's £180bn-£240bn a year
It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.
Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.

The role of politicians is to show racists that there’s no place for their racism in society and that racism is a severely detrimental position for anyone to take. Once politicians start pandering to racists, they have completely and irreversibly lost the way regardless of the rest of their agenda.
