Strategy is about advancing your own vision, not about acting as NFs unpaid marketing force.

However much Labour pray at NF's Brexit altar, it will not talk Reform voters across the chasm. Nige has installed Starmergeddon, Rachel from Accounts and so on in their tiny minds.

Las consecuencias del populismo. Una década de dirigentes que creen que el Brexit puede funcionar de algún modo y sólo ha conseguido gripar la economía británica. Y tenemos imbéciles aquí que pretenden seguir la misma senda incluso tras ver el fracaso de país en el que se ha convertido el R.U.
It’s like a decade a self-imposed economic sanctions.

Some of the people in this article have shared their recollections with me before - but on condition of anonymity. Coming forward now is an act of patriotism. Farage’s claim that it never happened is the opposite.

Migration has come down under Labour to 345,000 from 944000. close to when Labour left office 250000. The Tories had 14 years to bring it down to the tens of thousands they promised What did the Tories do then Kemi for 14yrs! As for Farage his Brexit was the biggest impetus to Migration!

If the British don't care that "Mr. Brexit" is a traitor who took money from Russia to destroy their country, perhaps they'll take issue with being governed by a man who marched through a quiet Sussex village, singing Hitler Youth songs, when he was seventeen?

One odd thing that is left out of the small boats discourse is how much the problem was directly caused by Conservative policy – specifically Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal.

2018: 299 small boat arrivals
2019: 1,843 arrivals

Truss’s 49-day premiership: 10,523 small boat arrivals
“The right wing of Britain’s commentariat and its politicians have embraced an agenda they would have condemned just 18 months ago, out of expediency and self-interest. If the UK is on the verge of a crisis, it is this – more than those risking their lives on small boats – that is behind it.”
Britain’s real immigration scandal is not the one you think
A so-called national crisis isn’t being driven by migrant boats - but by a cynical political class that would rather feed fears than fix anything

From 2011 – 2020 (before Brexit) the average was 27,500 applications per year. By comparison, in Germany, 250,945 people applied for asylum in 2024."

The fact that Starmer may have to rely on support from Tories, rather than his own party, speaks volumes for how far Labour have strayed off course.

UK squandered wealth, appeased corporations.

Norway levied 78% tax, took direct stake in companies.
