UK risks becoming ‘island of strangers’ without more immigration curbs, Starmer says

1. Starmer must be the biggest utterly devoid-of-human-soul creep since Benjamin Netanyahu. I cannot not think of “V is for Vendetta” whenever I see that man, because he’s the one who is going to create that world if he can.

2. Didn’t he just go an post something about fully enfranchising EU-citizens to vote? He’s just blatantly saying whatever it takes to remain in power lmao

3. Good old FPTP means that you end up with a conservative idiot appealing to a plurality (but not a majority) of like-minded conservative voters no matter who wins. 

4. Lot of European countries are in the unending cycle of doom regarding their immigration and economy considering how interconnected they are

5. I’ve hated most if not all prime ministers in the past 15 years due to incompetence, I expected SO much more from Kier and have been nothing but disappointed and even disgusted the way he composes himself and party. History isn’t gonna remember Labour fondly after this tenure in office, they’ve really screwed themselves this time, worse than last

6. With the risk of sounding controversial, I agree with Starmer. England is a small island country that can only sustain so many people. Surely, it should attract the best talent to power its economy and maintain demographics when needed, but uncontrolled migration of hundreds of thousands every year is bad imho. There’s plenty of big underpopulated countries like Russia or even the US (population density almost 10x lower than the UK) which can host immigrants, yet why does everybody want to move to the UK? This has really nothing to do with left-wing/right-wing divide.

7. Translation: “We didn’t expect Reform to win as hard as they did during the local elections so now we’re trying to appeal to Reform voters while hoping that our own base won’t get upset.”

8. I swear this was posted twice already.

   And for one hundred characters, my sports team won, or lost the other day, and it made me very jubilated, or upset.

9. The UK has become a dead country just like the US. When both sides appeal to the right extremists at the expense of their more left/centrist voters they quickly learn those voters aren’t going to go for the half hitler. They’re going to go for the full hitler.

10. Just keep shifting that overton window to the right. Sure does sound like they voted out Tories to replace them with more Tories. The sabotage of Corbyn was so well coordinated.
