They will probably increase their vote hugely facts, they'll be happy with that I would think, given that they don't really have a party as yet.

I acknowledge that the Labour Leadership farce, and the equal farcical ' coup ' by the PLP traitors to Socialism, and the lies put out by Murdoch, BBC and mass media controlled by capitalists , have caused significant damage to non Labour voters perception of the Party.
Corbyn, is a good,genuine and honest politician. He is a true Socialist and he genuinely wants a fairer society. Because I defy anyone to sY it's fair at the moment.
The Tories have created such divisiveness it's frightening as well as disgusting.
The Tories implemented Austerity, which wasn't necessary
Poor people got poorer. Rich people got wealthier. Tax avoidance for the elite became a virus.
.The financial cuts imposed on all the Councils and the subsequent cessation of vital services to the less fortunate in our society have broke the
hearts of millions in this country.
No homes to live in,. Living below the poverty line . Children starving.
The obscene growth in the need of food banks to keep people alive.
Add to this the deliberate running down of the NHS, in a cynical destructive way in readiness for selling it off to private companies.

Keep reminding yourself - we are the 5th richest country in the world.

The Tories couldn't give a flying fck about the working class..

Do you honestly think that the Labour Party think like this.
Do you honestly think they couldn't create a better society than the one we have now ?

The majority of voters do not think society would be better for them with Corbyn's "no limit on migrants" pledge, that is just a fact, facts.

Many who voted remain did so despite being worried about immigration, they were just more scared of the economic implications of brexit.

there's going to be millions of workers who work in council offices who may vote for Labour - diversity and climate change officers know which side their bread is buttered

So great a piece, yet written about the media (if you bother to read it) and nothing to do with a blind hatred of the Tories.

Anyone with a brain can see it is a great piece.

Unlike the blind devotion of one (or two?) who decry it as horsesh1t, to a government who cares nothing for its people.

If you are so blinded by a love of the tories you can't see the glaringly obvious staring you in the face, it's your problem, but surely somewhere in your head there is a little voice saying "oi, stop being so dim"?

Frightening isn't it ?
Just makes me wonder just what else the Tories have to DO, to make working class people realise they are being utterly shafted.

They are the 'John The Baptist' for those who will come after them.

Not another 'John the Baptist'. The voting population has an insatiable appetite for them.

"The motivation for many who voted Leave will be very different from the motivation of those on the Tory right. And make no mistake what is unfolding before us now is a Tory Brexit.

“The motivation of the Tories in charge of this process is clear. It was the former Conservative Chancellor Lord Lawson who gave the game away when he said: “Brexit gives us the opportunity...to finish the job that Margaret Thatcher started.”

“For the right-wing of the Tory party this is the opportunity they’ve been waiting for. To do away with hard-won workers’ rights. To embark on a race to the bottom in employment protection. So to those who voted Leave – I understand your desire for change. But there is a better way.”

Nicola Sturgeon.
