Very well written, detailed, and thoughtful piece.
Although, occasionally, this piece misses the mark. For example: "Acquiring power for power’s sake." Given Labour's bold legislative programme (workers' rights, house building, decarbonization etc), suggesting Labour's measures on immigration are not calculated for the purpose of securing electoral air cover for delivering these manifesto commitments, but instead simply to retain power is just hyperbole. Labour are signalling on immigration for, in their view, good reason. Namely their desire to secure more than one term in office, and deliver meaningful and enduring change.
