I agree with some of that (although its nonsense to say workers are treated badly by "the right" - the minimum wage was increased far more by the current government, and they also tend to actually get more workers in work..but I digress..) but a Labour leader just sacked a Labour MP for breaking party rules. You turning that into an attack on "the right" sounds like something from Pravda in the 1950s.

Not everything must be viewed entirely through the very imperfect prism of left and right.
