This is what we've become.

The example we've used is Denmark where there is opposition to any form of migration. In fact the intention is for 0 asylum policy and hostility to immigration generally.

I think it's also disputable to say that legal migration has limited opposition. There is lots of opposition to asylum seekers, refugees - particularly from Muslim countries.

If you think back to the Brexit vote, Garage was stood in front of a sign suggesting immigration meant we were at "breaking point". Nothing illegal about those people. Attitudes might have softened from 2015-16 but it's still not 'limited.

Also, at best there is confusion about the definition used when discussing immigration. Migrant/economic migrant/illegals/illegal immigrants/immigrants/refugees/asylum seekers are often used interchangeably.

Discrimination: Swedish study shows job applicants with foreign names receive far fewer responses

A significant employment gap exists between Swedish-born and immigrant job seekers.

How dare immigrants do worse than natives in the labour market though.

Where is the effective opposition when presented with that? Starmer and Rayner, no chance. People will not like to admit they were wrong so I expect similar results as last time. Oh and for clarity I have voted Labour whenever I have bothered

Beat me to it. I’ve said all along we need a strong and effective opposition and Labour have failed to provide it….

I don’t disagree at all that other parties need to up their game.

But even if they did strongly come out on the attack, we all know the Tory’s have tied the mainstream media up in tight knots and it would be deflected.

There’s still people thinking Labour broke the economy in 2010 FFS.

This is a very weird nation. People vote Tory as they think this projects them as being middle or upper class. Half of them can’t even spell conservative.

By-elections mean sod all. No effective opposition in this country, simple as that. Even if Labour get in I am yet to see what their intentions are and suspect they want a power grab off the back of unpopularity of the current incumbents.

But the Red Wall - made of sand. Middle England is pissed off with the wastrel. Most governments get elected because of the unpopularity of the current incumbents.
