❌ Reform UK vote intentions unchanged (or at worse better)

If the objective of being tough on immigration was for Labour to be perceived as more right-wing & nativist, the strategy worked.
❌ Labour was seen as more anti-immigration & more right-wing
❌Immigration became more salient as an issue
❌ But Labour’s perceived competence on immigration fell.

I guess when the question "what did you spend $40+bn on?" comes around, no one wants to answer, "this neat tool to let a DM swiftly generate a backstory and portrait for an NPC when their players decide to walk into a different building than the one they expected."
