Starmer’s message to migrants: "Learn perfect English, pay more, and don’t stay long."
To businesses: "Find Brits to do the jobs we’ve underpaid for years."
To the far right: "Please like us now?"
Britain deserves better.

the Guardian

@lyndamerry484 Still, no Labour will make a positive case for rejoining or even mention the damage done by #Brexit. SO I disagree that Labour will lead on Brexit. I expect Tories will move sooner than Starmer... #LabourValues #PolicyConcerns #LabourDrift #ReformRise #LabourPolicyShift #ImmigrationDebate #LabourLosesTouch
