its tragic (but inevitable) that musk/farage/philp/badenoch etc are weaponising this
he should be in prison (so should Trump fwiw)

Id be quite happy as a taxpayer to think that I was funding his lifestyle in Wormwood scrubs, rather than a palace in windsor

How does this timid quote tally with what Keir Starmer said in his speech - and in his interviews - just a fortnight ago?

He became incessant in October, I sent some of his [now deleted] messages to Kent police, with evidence he was orchestrating many others too. I was told on 7th January they would interview him imminently. I have heard noting substantive for 9 months after that though chased it in June & August

Yes. And it won't win over a single voter whose main concern is immigration. Pointlessly self-destructive.
Tbh, the whole anti-migrant rhetoric is already making my friends on ILR look at moving.

Of course, they’re all the ones with the money and talent *to* move. Which isn’t what politicians are selling as the consequence of ILR-bashing. But it’s what will happen.
