Labour are hampered by the fact that they want to upset the status quo so there is media manipulation against them. Get a neoliberal in like Blair and the press would be happier. However neoliberalism goes against labours founding principles. Corbyn is no more left wing than Attlee. However politics has moved so far right that he's called extreme. I think Corbyn is reminder of 70's old Labour and there are plenty of voters who remember what that was like.

Well Labour played a good hand with their character assassination of Nutall but We can;t say for sure how big a factor that was. I don't think much character assassination was needed. The guy (or his team) lied about losing friends at Hillsborough and he then lied about being at Hillsborough. Most of the rest I agree with. I still - as I have always said - believe Labour will lose under Corbyn. While there are some talented moderate politicians in the Labour MPs, few of them are palatable to the majority of the membership, who seem to need an election defeat to confirm what everyone else is telling them. At that point they will lose some of their fervency for purity in their politics and move closer to the centre again. The media is currently the most pro-government it has arguably ever been though. The relentless criticism of all the opposition parties - Labour, UKIP, Lib Dems, etc - is the worst it has ever been.

It seems to me, and I am a "white van man", that the Labour party created an institution (the NHS) which was very much needed, and very necessary, without thinking about how to actually implement it. They then needed to staff the behemoth, but instead of training the indiginous population, they recruited from the former colonies, especially for the so-called non-skilled jobs. Hence the first mass immigration. That philosophy continues to this day. As long as there are taxpayers, the Labour are happy. Sod the real money in the country. Let's have low paid workers paying minimum tax. Not really gonna help the deficit though.
Systematically dragged down by the lawmakers |
