Well said though the education should be about the big issue. Why some people have low paid jobs, the inability to buy a house or rent a council house (while we can bail put banks and score up the pound to the tune of billions) and all the other niggles caused by the austerity / national debt myth. Just stating clearly that labour would increase the state offer, tax richer people more and make big companies that exploit people such as mobile phone companies, utilities etc more regulated or nationalised. Oh amd empower works more by reverting some of the anti union legislation. Old school socialism expressed clearly may sweep away the last Blairite conmen and offer a genuine opposition that may be electable

Why? WHY? Why not explain to people your viewpoints and arguments, and stick to your principles? Why should Labour politics always be about pandering to unsavoury ideologies just to hoover up some votes? Is politics only about getting into power? Are there no ideals to strive for? Is making yourself more like the Tories or UKIP the only way to get into government? Why not try and educate people about immigration, about inequalities and excessive executive pay, about animal cruelty of horse racing, and try to raise the level of debate beyond a sound bite or frothy engagement. Corbyn has tried to do those things. Angela Eagle has nothing, absolutely nothing
to offer.
