Immigration is a subject the right have seized and made their own, yet there is all the evidence the government needs to take back the narrative and tell a different story.
But they daren't.

We obsess over the angry young men going Reform.
But what of the anxious young women going Green?
And a Labour Party that takes them for granted, while bending over backwards to placate noisy Reform voters?
#PecksniffsDiary
Reform are egged on by news editors who think there is nothing more exciting than pictures of Nigel Farage brandishing a pint of beer.
#PecksniffsDiary
Reform had only 72 out of 20,000 councillors nationwide, just 0.36 of one per cent.
Four out of five are disgruntled Tories who jumped ship.
They had only one in 300 councillors, and had won only one election of every 20 contested.
#PecksniffsDiary
Political hacks can pat themselves on the back.
They have some success at last.
Reform, the party they all but invented, on whose behalf they have openly canvassed public approval, has won some seats.

Any law allowing those in charge to stop anyone doing anything they disapprove of is going to be abused by those charged with not frightening the horses.....
More thoughts from #PecksniffsDiary
Thank you for sharing #PecksniffsDiary.
The musings, and humour, from the Muckraker's Arms are worthy of a large audience if for no other reason than to bring a bit of levity at the weekend in the face of all political machinations.

One prospect is that Tory Brexit hardliners move over to Reform, so encouraged by Reform’s momentum in the polls.
And so they would leave the Conservatives in the hands of more moderate Tories....
#PecksniffsDiary on political life
It seems the Conservatives have rediscovered Europe.
“We’re all pro-Europeans now,” claims former Tory home secretary Amber Rudd.

The Tories have become Reform-Lite, but why would voters go for them when they can have the real thing by voting Reform?

Kemi Badenoch claimed she had “negotiated a modernisation plan”, but under pressure she was forced to admit that this was what we journalists call a “porky”.
#PecksniffsDiary
The media elite which have so misshaped our politics misreport the public’s views on such a scale it shows contempt for the readers and viewers.
Erudite observations in this week's #PecksniffsDiary
A recent newspaper poll about trust in the six party leaders, only mentioned five of them.
The one omitted was Ed Davey, though he is most trusted by a mile.
#PecksniffsDiary
BBC’s Chris Mason listed what the government could do to improve the economy, but contrived not to mention the EU...
#PecksniffsDiary on this and other shenanigans
Fascist America mmm north and south say fascist USA. Let’s keep using the f word despite it weirdly missing on my spelling thingy. Mmm what if apple/Microsoft removed the words #fascist and #fascism from their databases?
Just an #orwellian muse
but is it?
#pecksniffsdiary where local mimics global
Nigel Farage increasingly wears the look of a man who has just been told he is being cuckolded by the gardener.

Let's face it, all our parties are desperate not to upset anybody, and the safest way of achieving that is to say nothing at all.
#PecksniffsDiary , with artwork by @coldwarsteve.bsky.social -- thanks!
Britain is poverty-stricken.
Many in full employment rely on food banks. Our waterways are poisoned. We are the sixth largest economy in the world.
Where has all the money gone? #PecksniffsDiary reports the Muckrakers' answer.

Enjoy #PecksniffsDiary
Clive Lewis aka @labourlewis.bsky.social seeks a conversation about the future of water ownership in the UK.
Not an approach which appeals to the government, whose view is the less conversation about it the better.

This week benefits, fascism, environment & much more are in the sights of #PecksniffsDiary
The bottom 50% of the British public own less than 5% of the wealth, yet Keir Starmer plans to get the poor to buy our new defence procurements.

The revolution always eats its children, and it's presently about to digest Nigel Farage.
#PecksniffsDiary is watching.
“There is no enemy like a friend betrayed”. How true.
As the world superpower, America once had friends around the globe. But not anymore. All gone."

wonder what a 007 would think on the state’s spooks? Infiltrated Ineffectual Incompetent. Dots between this and @bylinetimes.bsky.social @carolecadwalla.bsky.social Westminster Spy Ring?
Kemi Badenoch's spokesperson called on a “foreign power” – the United States – to intervene in Britain’s sovereign interests in the Chagos islands.
Admission of weakness? Appeal to internationalism?
Or her version of Take Back Control?
