Labour warned against adopting Reform UK's immigration agenda
By

Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
The article argues that Labour's 2024 landslide victory was built on a platform of improving living and working conditions for all, not on aggressive immigration restrictions. However, less than two years into power, Keir Starmer's government has allowed its policy agenda to be hijacked by Reform UK's immigration-focused rhetoric, with Nigel Farage setting the terms of political debate. The piece warns Labour against trying to out-Reform Reform and instead urges the party to focus on its original economic renewal agenda, particularly as figures like Andy Burnham eye future leadership bids.
