The Labour Party

[SkyBlueFlux]

Cloud cuckoo land as per usual from Stramer on the boats just as I thought, they have no plan, the tories have a flawed plan which will last until they lose.
If the French don't cooperate - which they don't then there is no plan
There needs to be a massive deterrent
Also, just to be clear, these are not asylum seekers, they ILLEGAL ECONOMIC MIGRANTS and should be returned to wherever they come from immediately.
I won't be fucking bothering voting yet again. Absolute jokers the lot of them.

I don't understand - increasing the number of resources processing people and setting up a dedicated returns unit to send back people who fail their asylum claims seems pretty close to what you're asking for? They don't need France to cooperate for that to work, but if they do then that'll be a bonus. I don't see the functional difference between what you want and what Labour are saying they're going to do. It's much closer than what Suank is doing. Do you want failed applicants to be sent back or not?

Labour to create returns-and-enforcement unit to remove failed asylum seekers

Sir Keir Starmer’s party would make ‘firm, fair enforcement and control’ a central part of overhauling the immigration and asylum system.

Under the Tories, the number of failed claimants being returned has dropped by 40%. They are so myopically focused on this "massive deterrent" which is quite provably not a deterrent as the number of boat crossings has continued to increase - to the extent that they are just allowing failed claimants to stay in the country indefinitely. You can say that's a plan, but it's quite demonstrably a plan that's not working.

No mate I stopped voting years ago. My late dad would be turning in his grave as to what this country has become.

Is there anything in life that makes you happy?

Most of your posts espouse hatred of things.

I wouldn’t expect Reeves to be spending it just yet ;) she would want more evidence of real growth for sure and probably wouldn’t want to come out and say now the economy is doing well under the Tories we can…. ahead of a GE, she’ll naturally want to keep focus on the negatives!!!

Have Labour actually come out with any firm plans for EU relations? Other than their default saying of being better. Genuine question. On that topic I was a bit surprised/ disappointed that we dismissed the EU proposal for movement of a younger age cohort, it didn’t appear there was any negotiation for specific exclusions or a “quid pro quo” but rather a blanket no from us. Perhaps that can be revisited.

Absolutely no firm plans. Any firm or positive or firm plans will trigger weeks of Brexit betrayal headlines and endless interviews and comment about Brexit. No one in Labour wants to talk about Brexit or the EU. Same goes for the public. It’s been nothing but a shitshow and a national embarrassment. No one will thank Labour for mentioning it.

Instead, we will pretend it didn’t really happen and improve things and relations on the QT. It is the British way.

Could you point out one of mine that shows hatred?

Could you give an example of how you think the country is being well run?

The issue is too polarised and toxic for any political party to hang it's hat on. We'll tiptoe back to a sensible position that if spoken of openly would be too Brexity for some idiots and too remain for the other idiots. I honestly think global shitness has now marginalised both ends of the Brexit debate which now seems petty.

Difficult to see how Reeves could have got it more wrong regarding the GDP figures released this morning.

Disputing whether the economy was improving and turning a corner was a silly move given the prospects for a good Q1 GDP figure, and doing this ahead of the Bank of England meeting - when key Bank officials had been making more optimistic noises - was especially poor timing.

She’s undoubtedly been poorly advised, but you have to question her instincts as well.

She's being advised by a former Tory MP.

Tories done well on immigration, can you tell me how they have solved it?

Small boats stopped?

Labour issues rising?

Christ, I'm no fan of Natalie Elphicke, but that's desperate stuff.
