"to take your word for it if that's really what you're saying"

It's what I said Jim! I am full of shit.


The issue with the Labour party is they are unelectable. Corbyn lives as much in a political bubble as Cameron did but rather than being an Eton toff is a sour old leftie. Like Cameron and his Notting Hill muckers he has no experience of life at the sharp end, has always been involved in unions or politics rather than earning a crust and is as equally unfit to lead as Cameron was. Thinking about it, even Cameron did a stint as a PR man so perhaps he had more life experience.

The left needs to change, and although it needs thinkers like Corbyn it still has to adjust to the global nature of business and politics of the 21st Century. Most of the workforce is not unionised, how does the left re-connect with the millions of self-employed for example? It does not recognised the importance of social media or understand how people connect with each other using our fast-changing technology. Finally, it needs to rediscover it's radical heritage and adapt that spirit to the modern age.

I can't see that happening in the Labour party now, and they have let us down horribly during the EU ref campaign, and are failing utterly to hold the government to account during a time we need an effective opposition in parliament. They have become the epitome of a myopic, narcissistic and out of touch political clusterfuck with nothing to offer the ordinary working person.

Oh, and why are they so against a woman leader? Hmmm.
