Labour will never ‘out Farage’ Farage – so this performative cruelty over immigration is pointless

The Independent  

Labour publishing videos of immigration raids on people accused of being in Britain illegally has me asking one question: what’s the point? All those videos show is that the only people allowed to make their careers by exploiting the UK’s failure to provide legal asylum routes are UK politicians. Yet, not only has Farage admitted that we haven’t benefited economically …
