Jeremy Corbyn and his Trotskyism has doomed Labour.

I've read that there's little doubt that there will be another Scotland referendum soon.During the last campaign oil was at $110/barrel and there weren't any major signs of the euro being in serious trouble.Today oil's at $50/barrel and the euro is clearly in big trouble.

Watching the Scottish National Party in Parliament it's clear that they should all be searched for suicide vests before being allowed into the chamber.Spoiled brats and punks they are.

If that's meant a a dig against West Virginia I,for one,have far more respect for the citizens of West Virginia than I do for citizens of California,Vermont,DC,New York and even my home state,Massachusetts.

Nigel Farage and DJT are alike, and Blue collar workers see the same thing in US and UK. No dig.

Its funny to watch labor fall away from the left

Labor /the working class is its own interest. The left has alway been parasitic on it. As the left is is always a parasite that attaches itself to any grievance group to coop it

I cannot correlate the percentages reported by Westmonster with the data &/or percentages in the record/survey they cite as the source. They appear to infer “working class” from some category or combination of categories in the data, and if that is the case they ought to identify their method as well.

The Westmonster report’s text does not seem to square with:
