OT Why has the Labour party sold its soul?

[MillerBill]

Recently they came out and said that they would stand as a remain party and totally ignore the traditional labour voters and appeasing the Islington crowd.After being a life long critic of the EU,Corbyn does a massive U turn,what an hypocrite!!Now,shadow chancellor McDonald comes out and appeals for an alliance with the toxic SNP.Is there no limit to how low they can go, to get into power.This was once a very proud party.No longer!!!

Think this has been hugely covered on the Brexit thread. Why start it again?

Could say the same with the lunatic thread.

The labour party is closer to its original roots right now than it has been for decades.

I think Labour is as far away it it has been from its voters, its completely out of touch

It'll be nice to see :

British Gas - one tariff
British water board
British Rail - one ticket rational
British Coal - Now carbon capture technology has developed
British Electric - one tariff
A true -medically lead NHS
A true transport policy - roll on - roll off train / haulage hubs.
A true social building policy
British airways
British telecommunications
A true Royal Mail

Problem is "Money" would be overseas in minutes because "Money" is raping this country and the tories are supplying the victims.

The public is being ripped off left, right & centre but that's just collateral damage to the rich getting richer. Ho hum.

Well I hope you're not a Remainer as the EU would nix half of those.

Thats what some socialists dont get, its quite funny they want to hand over our utilities to the French private companies

John Curtice who I trust more than most on polling has highlighted a steady drift to Remain which now stands at 54% to 46% Leave. I don't think all 54% live in Islington and it was noted that 4 Labour seats which voted Leave in 2016 are now Remain. All my family are lifelong Labour voters but if Labour doesn't unequivocally support Remain at the next election all four of us are voting LibDem. This is mirrored in dozens of people we know almost all traditional Northern working class although quite a few are graduates.

After over 3 years of relentless anti-Brexit propaganda from the media it isn't surprising that some have gone Remain (Jabba the Hut would call them "weak-minded fools" ) but it's still not a significant number.
