I don’t identify myself as a libertarian or with any steadfast ideology for that matter.

For Three: How on earth can you call yourself a Labour Man and call Tony Benn “A good laugh and not to be taken seriously”?

My beliefs sit comfortably alongside those of Paul Embery.
He thinks that the modern left hate “The Working Class” and I agree with him.
I think Embery's view are fairly spot , isn't he an ex union official and feels Labour has lost touch and neglected its traditional voters, it seems they have moved away from the old fashion working class and become a middle-class cosmpoltian party which now seeks urban city voters .

Looking at the last few elections his views maybe right

I read somewhere that the Tory party now attract as many working class voters , perhaps that was borne out by the so called collapse of the Northern Red Wall, and losing Scotland another working class stronghold ,it appears lost to them ??

Perhaps their tactics have been badly thought through over the years , or has their in-fighting since Blair consumed and destroyed them , who knows , all I do know, something went wrong 🤔
