  1. Sadly, Richard, Labour's story was always something of a sham. It was always nominally about fighting for workers' rights, abolishing poverty, promoting democracy and opposing colonial oppression. In power, it did do some of those things early in its history: The NHS is obviously its crowing glory but also progressive taxation, improvements in housing, education etc. Even then, many of those things were diluted by people within its ranks who didn't really believe in them. Increasingly, those right wingers have come to rule supreme and have purged from Labour's ranks many of those who did believe in that story. If it has a story at all now, it is to be a vehicle for influence peddling and career progression and everything it once (at least nominally) stood for is what it now stands against
