The Far North

I quite agree Tony, but tragically they're even being criticised in the Telegraph as "labour-lite". (I only saw the headline as it's before the paywall)I really wish the penny would drop. This is a tried and tested propaganda trope; an all-powerful right-wing elite deflecting attention from their own corruption, theft, erosion of our rights, civil liberties etc onto an easy to demonise ‘other’ who are in effect zero threat to anyone. Lining their own pockets at our expense whilst shouting “look, those refugees are coming to steal your jobs!”.
In any sane country this government would be on fire right now. This is the far-right doing exactly what the far-right does; demonise, scapegoat, divide and consolidate power. I am horrified that as a nation we seem to accept it.

The rudderless, Labour-lite Tories face an autumn of political carnage
What is conservative about a Conservative Party that wants to hike taxes and increase energy costs?
Allister Heath
Wikipedia suggests Mr Heath has form.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allister_Heath
In June 2018, Heath claimed that "Cultural Marxism is running rampant."[8] Cultural Marxism is a far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory, and Heath has been criticised for using this term.
