Why do you think over 80% of the media don't inform their readers etc of what labour policies are? I'd wager that they are worried people will agree with them so won't publish as it will upset the status quo which allows them to publish anti labour rhetoric from there non UK homes. But there are some key points where Labour policy and Corbyn are at odds. Obvious one being Trident

Are there any other mp's against trident? I know this is a bit one sided, but it shows whatever Corbyn does the press will put a negative spin on it.

We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |

Of course there are but being a backbencher is very different to leading a party, especially the Labour Party given the way it is structured NATO & Clause IV (I think) are two big issues that he is also at odds with. I am sure that there are a few others. I will have a look at the link later

I will have a look at the link later Clause iv is essentially one of the major tenets drawn up in 1909 (I think) that forwarded the idea of Socialism and nationalism. Blair got rid of it bringing about the term new Labour. The party are divided on whether it should be reintroduced. New Labour say it would be a step backwards, however Corbyn doesn't want to reintroduce it as it was, but modified, something blairites and the media seem to conveniently ignore
