Good article that.

However what it doesn't explain is why he thinks the 'working class' suddenly feel their interests are best served by the party of lying, corrupt, tax dodging, public school millionaires who despise the 'working class' as idle layabouts to be exploited and put in their place.

Maybe he will do that in his next book, hope so.

Probably because he realises that a party that has members who actually believe people on the left of politics have a conscience and principles, and people on the right of politics have no conscience and no principles, is not a party to support.

If he knows people like you, probably.

Thanks for pointing out that book Ldr. I'll be spending a few quid on a copy.

There is a vibrant discussion going on on the Left about the challenges Labour faces. Here's another, somewhat more nuanced take from one of the best writers on modern society.
