I can’t help thinking that when, in future, people ask what UK political leaders said as it became undeniable that US saw European liberal democracy as its no1 strategic foe, Starmer and others will regret that the answer is “not much, shuffled awkwardly, looked at their feet”.

Indeed. One of the consequences is that MPs and journalists who still consider themselves centre-right now discuss unilaterally revoking settlement rights and deporting people on a mass scale as if this a normal policy option like tax cuts or bus spending.
A lot that could be said about this but if you look on Twitter it’s noticeable that the replies and quote tweets are *overwhelmingly* telling him he shouldn’t have apologised and even attacking him for doing so. That’s the feedback loop certain users are plugged into now, and it has consequences.

People are just realising that we had a better grip on immigration within the EU
They gave us bar staff and builders - we gave them sunburnt pensioners and seaside property booms. It was win-win.

Today, I'm signing legislation to safeguard our elections and the voice of every voter.
It's now illegal to use contests or payments to get people to register to vote.
And in the 2026 election, voters have the chance to repeal our state's ban on the public financing of elections.

Here's a link to Labour's 2024 manifesto.
It doesn't appear to mention rolling out a national ID scheme (which I think we can agree is a MASSIVE project). Yet Starmer's doing it anyway.
If that's acceptable, why aren't introducing PR, or rejoining the SM, CU or EU?

It's a strategy that imagines a voter who cares so deeply about immigration that they'd be willing to make Nigel Farage Prime Minister but is willing to come home to Labour if Starmer shows 60% of Farage's performative cruelty.
Maybe they exist but I don't think there are millions of them.

It’s official - “Nigel Farage is right, don’t vote for him” is a demonstrably awful strategy for Labour. Boosts salience of immigration, costs votes on the left, doesn’t persuade any voters on right (why would they accept a crap knock-off when they can have the original?)
We have a paper on how Labour's strategy is disastrous.
