Here’s a polished edit:
Anyone who has had the bizarre experience of attending a Labour party conference will know first-hand how much lefties love migration. The socialist jamboree is choc-a-bloc with ‘fringe’ panels on making life better for foreigners and on how Britain can show more love and care for ‘refugees’. The attitudes expressed by members at conference are, obviously, far removed from those of the wider public.
Brits have had enough of soaring net migration wreaking havoc on social cohesion, the housing market and public services. But something strange is going on. Are Labour members… perhaps… catching up?
New YouGov polling this morning shows that only 26 per cent of card-carrying reds want the government to adopt a more liberal approach to immigration. Meanwhile, 44 per cent want to see Shabana Mahmood’s reforms implemented. Anyone who has spent time at Labour conference, or among swathes of party members, will know that this has, if nothing else, the hallmarks of a sea change.
More intriguing YouGov figures reveal that 53 per cent of members want Labour to move in an even more left-wing direction under whoever ends up toppling Sir Keir Starmer. Mr S is surprised the figure isn’t higher. Another 21 per cent want the party to stick with its current socialist agenda.
Of course, none of this will really matter to the current crop of PLP lefties, who will do whatever it takes to ensure the welfare splurge continues and their ‘be kind, refugees are welcome here’ mantra lives on, even if it is to the detriment of everyone else.
