Hoping this ends Streeting.
He has done NOTHING about Covid, Long Covid, Pandemic preparedness. If I'm wrong and he has then he's lousy at communicating it.
He will reintroduce PFIs at the behest of Mandelson's "lobbying" - [Corruption might be a better word]

It's 4chan language that infected the far right at large. Using it is a signifier of fascist brain worms.

I’ve sat in more than one focus group of anti-immigration voters in which the more they heard about even the relatively tame – versus drowning people – Rwanda scheme, the less they liked it. Once people realised even ‘legitimate’ claimants couldn’t get in most said it was unfair.

It's a piece of piss. You commentators need to try harder. You could start with "Look at this privileged cheeky twat claiming to speak for the people." I'll give you that for free.

I don't agree with a lot of this. The public generally over estimate immigration.
Some of his complaints make sense, but others are a bit howling at the moon. He needs therapy to get @samfr.bsky.social out of his head

Confused... other surveys show people overestimate, not underestimate the number of migrants.
Emissions from PRC. Have the same people been shown the huge numbers of solar and wind farms built in China and the impact on their emissions?

Isn't there a danger that we're sanewashing Cummings? If he wanted to make a measured series of points that were well-evidenced, he could have done so. We don't help society's problems (or to be frank, his personal ones) by pretending he's being more reasonable or insightful than he is.

Because of numeracy & other effects, people may guess too low for net migration if asked to pick a raw number from air (eap before it fell). Guess much too high if asked for the % of the population that are migrants, & much too high if asked to guess % that are asylum. Neither v illuminating

Found it hard to follow the argument he makes re inflow of millions of legal migrants being legal makes it worse.There is little awareness that net migration fall dramatically. (One in 6 people have noticed its not at record levels. Thats about boats) he says something different re legal flows?

Exactly. And a lot of it is just describing the results of relentless far right propaganda on social media, GB News and in ever-radicalising tabloids as if it were some greater Wisdom of the People politicians have no choice but to listen to

Don't agree, this is the *online* public mood, there is a much larger part that is just getting on with their life, and yes if pushed much of this will come out, but the important point is that there is space for a different message if one was offered - which it hasn't been.

People are basically short of money because everything is so madly expensive these days. People are really struggling.
Everything stems from that, including the Right's shameful scapegoating of migrants.

You may not like it, but strip out the hyperbole and abuse and it's quite hard to argue with this Cummings asssessment of the public mood

It’s frightening that such a vile, divisive twat and his completely ineffective party have any traction in our politics whatsoever. Thanks to the agenda of a toxic right wing media and the gullibility of increasingly desperate sections of society, we could actually see these morons in power!

Yep. I've been working from home for 30+ years. Whenever I go into an office, I'm amazed how much time is spent (or wasted 😉) on breaks, chats and other distractions, to say nothing of travelling to and from the office.

Years ago I told my Director that I didn't care how long my team were spending at work. I cared about them delivering the job, on time, within budget and to the required quality.

Merz said the same thing almost word for word in Germany – and was ridiculed for it. The thing is, productivity isn't measured by hours spent in the office. It's an out of date view that ignores lifestyle changes, travel difficulties, the need for NetZero, and advances in communication technology.
