If the labour party read "uneasy about immigration" as "racist" every time, they have lost half the country. More than half. Corbyn and his bubble either don't realise this, or dont care, because they'd rather be in opposition anyway.
The same applies to "voting tory anyway". We need to win over swing voters, not write them off. Writing people off is lazy.

Everything you wrote in that first paragraph is part of what's wrong with the Labour party.
It's not necessarily racist to have concerns about immigration, many successful people want to pay something back (not just pay their workers fairly) and what's wrong with aspiring to go to Ascot? It's not my bag and I think horse racing is cruel but if it floats her boat.
To get elected again the party needs to deal with concerns, embrace aspirations and frankly stop being so snooty about people who don't conform to their particular expectations.

what of the racist pensioner? The CEO can pay more tax and pay his employees more instead of his ego massaging charity donations. The waitress going to ascot is a nonsense stereotype and will be voting Tory anyway.
Angela Eagle's soapbox is hollow.
