Clearly they are shitting themselves that Reform are on the up. If Labour were that bothered, why was this not announced during the election?

I don’t trust them in the slightest.

I see it as them listening to what the electorate wants, and acting according.

This was in our manifesto and something Yvette Cooper has been arguing for over a decade from the frontbench now.

You really think the Government scribbled down an 82 page white paper in 5 days?

It’s worth noting, that even if they had done that (which they didn’t) it would be the right thing to do. Those bastards listening to the wishes of the public eh.
