Bad to hear Labour now taking a "moderate" conservative position on immigration.

[@timedwards5734]

Not really. The Labour manifesto pledge was to lower net migration. Deport people who are here illegally (the number of flights returning those people has increased). Using the NCA to smash the smuggling gangs based in the UK. One of the most prolific people smuggler was arrested 2 weeks ago and a large number of inflatable small boats were seized. Process claims more quickly. We should always be a safe haven for those who are genuinely claiming asylum because they would be executed in their own countries. But it's an important issue for people and I think the Tories gave up on the task when they knew they were going to lose the election It's also something that can be judged on numbers rather than rhetoric. Significantly reducing the number of small boat crossings & bringing down net migration will be key in the next General Election. It will take the wind out of Reform UK's sails. Although not sacking a woman beating MP & paying Andrea Jenkins & others to join are big OWN GOALS by Farage, Tice & co

This is utterly insane. Kemi Badenoch admitted to what she did over 10 years ago. She apologised personally to Harriet Harman and has never tried to excuse or pretend what she did wasn't anything other than unacceptable and wrong. She was honest about it at the time and has been since. Haigh lied to her employers. Lied to the police. Lied to the Courts. Then claimed her reason in doing so was on the advice of her lawyer. She had a track record of wanting upgraded mobile phones at her previous employers Arriva and activated her "stolen phone" after it's supposed mugging and used it. That is the bare minimum of what we know about happening and doesn't include the other hidden information that Starmer and others apparently later found out about. For James O'Brien and his guest to claim otherwise is pathetic. Side note. A fixed penalty notice isn't a "conviction". Even a person with basic lawful knowledge would know this. Oh hang on. Keir Starmer made this mistake as well. 😂

You appear to be saying that Badenoch breaking the law is fine just because she later boasted about it. She's a hypocrite, plain and simple.

[@SgtWilko1979]

Openly admitting to a crime that could carry a custodial sentence may be laudable in some instances, but this crime has not been before the courts and she has ultimately avoided punishment for it. Louise Haigh, no matter the truth of what happened, pleaded guilty ultimately and accepted her punishment. You are quick to assign motive to Haigh when none of us do or ever will know what actually happened, but you want to gloss over the leader of the opposition admitting to a different crime simply because years after the fact she admitted it? Did she inform the conservative party of this crime before running for leader? Has she approached the police to admit her criminal activity? It's not about right or wrong it's about hypocrisy.

@@andrewmark2783 She didn't later boast about it. She didn't carry out a malicious attack. There is a difference between attempting to defraud someone by gaining access to their website and playing a prank.

So, it's fine for her to break the law because she apologised many years later? That's a bit messed up.

[@MrTomDangerous]

@@tombo1984 That's how we know about it. Because she bragged about it.
