Stephen Bush (FT) sums up the problem with the Labour Govt's immigration 'policy':
'The problem is that Labour’s arguments convince no one, because the people attracted to their rhetoric & their policies on control notice that the UK continues to welcome some immigrants, while those who want a more welcoming position are turned off by the party’s new policies'!
As he suggests their incoherent position pleases no-one & emboldens the Right by normalising their rhetoric.
@ChrisMayLA6 Blue Labour take their lead from men like Steve Bannon, of course the British Public are turned off by them.
