- Gordon Brown caving to Gillian Duffy really was the Sliding Doors moment, wasn't it?
- Reposted by Dr Simon UbsdellI genuinely don’t really know what else we can say about Labour and immigration. Their approach could not be more misjudged and wrong than it is: this will literally push even more voters towards Reform and, meanwhile, the care sector will implode.* www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
- The "Let's train our own" gang never advance a plan that involves training a domestic workforce *first* before evicting the foreign workers currently employed in those key jobs. The sequencing is always upside down. And that tells you everything about the ugliness of what they are really saying.

- Reposted by Dr Simon UbsdellThe incoherence and incompetence of the government’s universities policy is worthy of Gove. It’s tragic.
- There is nothing more idiotic than ideological xenophobia. Pure self-harm mixed with the obvious moral ugliness.
- “What we should be doing is training here in the UK.” Yvette Cooper admits there will be a ‘temporary shortage’ of workers in some sectors due to Labour’s ‘sweeping immigration reforms’. @lewisgoodall.com
- Reposted by Dr Simon UbsdellYvette Cooper has chosen to hide her frontal attack on immigration behind the Telegraph paywall. Cowardly. The link below will take you to an archived version that bypasses the paywall, which means you won't contribute to the Telegraph's advertising. archive.ph/2025.05.11-0...
- I don’t get why people are suddenly surprised at Yvette Cooper’s rancid anti-immigration rhetoric. What rock have they been under all these years?
