“Only 5% of migration is from small boats, but it gets 95% of the headlines. It would be ludicrous to cut legal migration when we have 150,000 NHS vacancies."

Zack Polanski says politicians must stop fuelling fear and start telling the truth about immigration.

"Sir Keir Starmer has been warned that Labour is being deserted by a so-called Green wave of left-wing voters who are disillusioned with the party’s shift to the right on welfare, migration and transgender rights."

Starmer warned of ‘Green wave’ exodus over Reform obsession

Labour may soon be ‘haemorrhaging’ left-wing voters to the Green Party, which is surging in polls, amid disillusionment with the party’s shift to the right

Sorry to join the pile on but
A) Define 'better'. I have literally zero interest in debate and politics. I'm here to post about TV shows and look at butts.
