"The far right and far left are, in many ways, "
I really am not sure of any of this
Corbyn is faced with rebuilding the Labour Party after the New Labour fiasco, he has to seek allies and his supporters are largely made up of enthusiastic amateurs and the far right (most of whom were Brexiteers), still look on Parliament as a meal-ticket
Who is he going to turn to for support?
The old mob broke the ties with the Trades Unions, who were the founders of The Labour Party and who remain its natural ally.
It seems to me that there is a great degree of maneuvering going on here.
I'm a little out of touch over what's happening in Britain - ifs McCluskey really of 'the far right'?
He supported 'The People's Assembly', his stance on 'free movement' appears to be that anybody working in Britain should be paid the negotiated minimum wage and not be allowed to undermine negotiated rates.
His criticism of immigration appears to be that it has been allowed to be used to drive down wage levels, not that it should be stopped or reduced - seems fair enough to me.
Historically employers have used immigrants to undercut rates of pay, why should that be allowed to happen here?
As I say, I'm out of touch - would appreciate being filled in.
As far as Corbyn is concerned, I'll support him until he ceases to live up to my expectations
