We need to stop calling them “pro-pals”. They’re not remotely pro pals

If I had one nagging doubt going into tomorrow, it's that everyone looked at those polls saying voters were concerned about corruption and assumed they all meant Trump. I spoke to a lot of MAGA folk this week, and all of them were angry about corruption. But they meant Somalis, Democrats and Fauci.

NEW: Andy Burnham has denied proposing a return to free movement of people with the EU, highlighting the pitfalls of his plan to start a conversation about potentially reversing Brexit. “I have not proposed freedom of movement coming back,” Burnham said in an interview with ITV. “I do believe that we should have an honest discussion with people about how immigration has changed since the Brexit vote,” he said. The PM’s remarks sow confusion about how he intends to move Britain closer to the EU, which he has made a key tenet of his long-term vision for the UK since taking office. The policy discussion has caused concern among some cabinet ministers who are reluctant to reopen the country’s politically toxic Brexit debates. At Labour conference in September, Burnham suggested he could support Britain rejoining the EU in future, an outcome that would require the UK accepting freedom of movement.  Other options for a closer relationship, which Burnham is expected to set out around a summit in Brussels later this month, include rejoining the EU’s single market, which would also require the UK signing up to free movement rules. However, that is politically very controversial as it would be seen by some voters and senior Labour figures as a return to unlimited immigration from Europe.  Bloomberg reported on Saturday that there is consternation among senior Cabinet ministers over Burnham’s Brexit strategy, with several opposing reopening debates on Brexit and free movement, fearing the Conservative opposition will take advantage. Chancellor John Healey suggested in a Channel 4 interview last week that he couldn’t see the UK rejoining in his lifetime and Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds warned that businesses didn’t want “uncertainty” over the relationship. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood declined to state her views on free movement in an interview with Sky News on Monday, saying only that she was keen to abide by Labour’s existing manifesto which rules out a return to free movement this parliament. Asked about free movement by Sky on Tuesday, borders minister Anna Turley said her focus was on improving the current immigration system.
