As for the working class abandoning Labour for UKIP. I dont know why you think that. Narrow minded racists have abandoned Labour for UKIP, as they have abandoned the other parties. Good riddance to them. They are neither needed nor wanted.

Branding UKIP racists isn't particularly useful, and it's not an effective way of connecting with the electorate. Some of their voters may be, but it's not the main reason people gravitate toward them, and none of their policies are in fact racist. The EU isn't a race.

I'm currently confused between Labour's policies and Labour's other policies, which directly contradict the first set,

That's easy. Labour policy as agreed by the membership at conference is to renew trident. Corbyn, a firm believer in membership democracy showed full support to the shadow defence minister when she espoused the memberships policy as he is a true democrat rather than a hypocrite who is quite happy to claim a huge mandate from the membership when it supports his Brand of Islington socialism but quite happy to over ride the wishes of the proletariat when they have not yet been indoctrinated to the correct political consciousness.

And whats on the front of the Daily Hatred? Oh look, Jeremy Corbyn for a change.

This time he has dared to be popular with migrants in Calais.

And this is the "news". Its a pathetic joke by an ever more desperate establishment.

The Telepgraph is slipping and has let its Corbyn story fall 1/3 of the way down the front page!

The same story as the Daily Mail but this time Corbyn is making a refugee baby cry!!

The Gordian has decided that Trident and Corbyn hasn't been done to death.

We have a pointless nuclear deterrent that deters no one, that belongs to the Americans, costs more than all the health and welfare departments George Osborne is closing put together and a great many people no longer want.

Thats Corbyns fault too!

Doesnt he know the Russians are coming?? He's probably not worried I suppose, being a rampant baby eating Stalinist.

Meanwhile Calamity Cameron continues to plod around Europe receiveig humiliating rebuff after cold shoulder in his red lines plan to renegotiate the only part of our foreign policy we still have control of, and its radio silence from the MSM.

How about the doctors strkes, student loan protests, the millions of people being thrown into poverty since the government was elected? No . Not a flipping peep.

Meanwhile Its a slow news day on everyones favourite "last Wednesday's news today, sort of" media channel, the now oddly named "Independent". I am not sure what it is meant to be independent of, independent of editorial integrity not linked to advertising perhaps.

Lets see what they have in place. OH WHAT A SHOCK its a giant leader about... Jeremy Corbyn. This time knocked up by someone 99.9% of people have almost definitely never heard of, Amol Rajan, the Indy's (current) editor.

Labout isn't working under Corbyn. No its too busy trying to unclog the RSS aggregator with all the stories about him.

Half the resources of Google is currently groaning under the weight of trying to understand why Raleigh bicycles are now nodally linked to hard line socialism and the end of the world as we know it.

The Tories have a thin majority at best which they got standing against a Labour opposition whose strategy was to be as much like the Tory party as possible so that no one could tell the difference.

That has finished now. Whatever happens in the interim, when 2020 comes there will be a real opposition.

There was a clear divide between the parties. As Labour have no coherent policy on key areas. Nor can they agree between themselves internally. Blair and Brown created a union which managed to bind the better together as one. Now there's a clear split between the factions. The months pass and Labour are slipping more and more into the irrelevant category in political terms.

What's new? Corbyn and his cohorts are the remnants of the previous generation

There is absolutely no talent in the Labour party. Blair was surrounded by talent but they are all aged 60+ and 70+ now. It's as if Generation X and Y never joined the Labour Party, maybe they just didn't find the Labour Party relevant?
