- Good news for Labour that nearly five times (5% vs 22%) more Reform voters 'think' the proposed immigration policies will actually increase immigration than reduce it.
- Imagine splashing another immigration reform that won't work instead of actual jobs, investment, and environmental improvement. www.gov.uk/government/n...
- A thread that delivers on many fronts, including its promise to be 'long' (but undoubtedly worth it).
- Tomorrow there's a big White Paper on immigration (www.gov.uk/government/n...). Whatever else it does, it's bound to refuel Labour’s internal debate about net migration -- a debate full of assumptions about public opinion. Strap in for a long thread about a survey testing some of those assumptions.
- It's never occurred to me to use AI for reviews and anyone doing it is extremely disrespectful to people's work and time.
