She'd probably #swear at me - but I'll swear right back: Shabana #Mahmood is a f**king #ReformUK #supporter implementing #fascist #Reform #policies in a so-called #Labour #Government. The "concerns" about #immigration she refers to are NOT "legitimate", they are #Racist, & she & the #LabourParty are pandering to them. And where is it getting them? NOWHERE FAST! #BlueLabour can f**k itself!

If it's going to have any semantic value at all, the word "populist" should be confined to referring to an approach to #politics that's inherently divisive - pitting the "people" against the "elites" - rather than #policies that have broad popular appeal, such as lower taxes or price controls.
