Burnham said... “We are here to speak to the politics of hope and of positivity.”

Thoughts on his response? I think Burnham is the best chance of having a decent country following the next general election. I don't think he's a perfect person (nobody is) but I think he's generally decent, and the polls show that Labour are the best-placed party to beat Reform.

a lot of people in this country have concerns about immigration

Those concerns are inversely proportional with understanding the situation. Any policy that empowers the pig-ignorant is shite.

    I'm not saying I agree with people who have "concerns about immigration". I might agree with them on some very limited points, while disagreeing on many points.

    I'm just saying that Burnham and Labour need to have broad appeal among different kinds of British voters if they're going to keep Reform out of number 10. So I guess that's why Labour are trying to take a view of "yes we recognise concerns about high immigration, e.g. regarding pressure on public services, and we plan to deal with immigration in a fair and humane manner".
