I don't usually enjoy The Guardian as it is full of activists like Owen Jones, but occasionally a piece will come along and it hits the homerun. This is one such article.
Labour set in motion its own decline ever since Blair came to power. His huge win was about votes taken from Tories and traditional Labour voters did not vote for the open borders, wars, or economic collapse Labour would preside over.
Ordinary revolt was in bloom long before Corbyn and the party had abandoned the traditional working classes long ago. The article points out that despite Corbyn's efforts there was still no discussion on migration or a cohesive EU policy and after 20 years the electorate stuck it to them.
Good to see the Tony Benn point I have raised on many an occasion.
