Also lol at the council rough sleepers budget - you know many councils are about to go bankrupt and labour are doing nothing about that?

The reason no one talks about them is they are ultimately piddly amounts of money. And how much of it is just getting funneled into the private sector as management consultants fees?
I find it difficult to understand how you believe Labour represents the interests of workers in any meaningful sense.
Labour is primarily a liberal party, and has been for many years. The union of liberals and socialists broke down in the 80s.
The problem with this analysis is that it assumes Labour aren't just as racist as reform. They both are racist, neither actually want to stop immigrants. Both require migrants for cheap labour to keep the gravy coming. They represent different factions of capital.
Labour appealing to the right wing talking points isnt some cynical ploy to maintain power - its just what they think. No one who actually cares about immigrants would pander to those talking points.
Frances Ryan is probably one of the best and most consistent writers the Guardian has.
Its interesting how all the starmer fans have gone quiet in the comments. Even they are starting to realise how they've been duped by red tie wearing tories.
Fine the renters bill is mildly good, but its a long way off whats necessary to solve the housing crisis and has been continually watered down.
We have some of the worst tenants rights in Europe and the oldest housing stock. A small improvement like that still makes us look barbaric in comparison.
