Watson seems to suggest that there are quite a lot of people who wouldn't be completely hardline about "boats and hotels", and would probably just like to see fewer of them processed faster. But I agree that doing what he and Shabana suggest with people who, as they themselves say, arrived with reasonable expectation of leave to remain would be unreasonable. And I think there's a pretty easy political argument to be made against Badenoch and co on that.

I think he's pissed about too much, but I wonder whether this does more harm than good. Most people don't know who he is and will lap up the "Stalin Starmer kicks out bloke for being leftwing" stuff. Still an enormous majority, with or without him.
