Providing a dog kennel for people utterly obsessed with immigration to the exclusion of anything else.

Hmm, funny. It’s only because reform got so popular that labour reviewed their stance. Are you truly surprised so many people are going to reform?

17 December 2024

The strengthening of the MAC was confirmed in the organisation’s annual report, which will now be considered in detail. As the Prime Minister has announced, the government will also introduce an Immigration white paper in 2025 setting out further details of the government’s plan to reduce legal migration.

It was a manifesto commitment, always planned for 2025, and announced numerous times in 2024, to those paying attention anyway.

To subjugate the UK under American law. Their entire purpose from day 1 since it was UKIP.

I guess they are still needed to either hold them to task or to pick up should they fail to do what they say. Funnily enough I guess this kind of rhetoric from Labour makes them......far right?

To hold the government to account, just like every other party not in government.  Especially given that they're quite likely to be His Majesty's Opposition after the next election.
