It’s a masterclass in how to lose an election by first alienating your base to appeal to people who will never vote for you. Labour is so terrified of the fringe, they’re sawing off the main part of the electorate to join it.

The asylum system just doesn’t work in the age of Ryanair. The Economist [did a good piece about it](https://archive.ph/2025.09.03-063301/https://www.economist.com/leaders/2025/07/10/scrap-the-asylum-system-and-build-something-better)
As they said there:

Charles de Gaulle one said:

Losing my human rights to fend off a government who will remove my human rights. That’s cool I guess.
Looks like the UK preparing to shoot themselves in the foot again
