It's a stupid article with a false comparison. Democrats in the US don't have a third of their voters wanting the wall.In answer to the thread title - Absolutely yes

Yet that has been Labour’s position since 2016, terrified by those Labour seats that backed leave. It’s resulted in the absurdity of Labour policy being a “jobs-first Brexit”: you might as well call for a patients-first disease. There can’t be a jobs-first Brexit because every version of Brexit is worse for the economy and jobs than staying in the EU.
You don’t hear Democrats talking about a migrants-first wall
Remarkable
Saw that earlier.
Has there ever been a worse opposition leader?
When Labour left the working man with his dick in his hand and focused instead on platforming and identity politics the party became a permanently in opposition party. I hope in time someone takes it round the back of the shed with a shotgun so that a decent party can flourish in its place and challenge the Tories.
The irony is that Corbyn is trying to rectify that, in my belief.
This is why he's glad about Brexit. I think he wants reset the course direction of the country and make it self reliant and do trade with, but not dependant on Europe.
Yet you seem to oppose the very idea of him... cos it's him.

IDS was worse.William Hague.
Corbyns bourgeois identity politics don't appeal to either me or so it seems many of the electorate. He's a rich wealthy member of the elite telling the working class that he's on their side, cafe politics designed to ensnare any minority cause.
Only one to come close Micheal Foot.I’m only 35 so I’m sure older posters will be able to contribute more but I can’t remember one
It’s the electorate’s fault. If they would actually open their eyes and see the light and stop being so thick and ignorant, everything would be ok.Corbyns bourgeois identity politics don't appeal to either me or so it seems many of the electorate.

So, if that's the case why keep voting an 'elite' in as a people??
By your own logic, they are all bourgeois politicians, but nobody seems to want someone in their own image, so therefore, continually gets shafted by bourgeois politicians!!
You need to make up your minds to vote for someone who care more or cares less out of the "bourgeois politicians".
It's a tiresome merry-go-round.

William Hague.
He wasnt, a bit of a blusterer but a necessary stepping stone between Foot and Blair, without Kinnock Labaour wouldnt have become electable by 97.Neil Kinnock hasn't done badly out of being useless.
