Bullies can sense weakness - which is why Labour must not shy away from taking on the global far right | Andy Beckett

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

36% : But consciously or not, these voters have absorbed the far right's favourite, highly questionable argument that immigration is central to this country's problems - as opposed to, say, inadequate public spending or an ever-more unequal economy.
33% : The lack of electoral damage to Trump from Democrats calling him a fascist suggests, depressingly, that many voters who weren't alive during fascism's 20th-century heyday don't take warnings of its recurrence seriously.
25% : After last month's US election, the foreign secretary, David Lammy, tried to dismiss his past description of Trump as a "tyrant" and "a woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath", from when Lammy was a backbencher, as "old news".
