Labour Party’s betrayal of working classes

Sir, - The right-wing remoaners in the Labour Party and Trade Union Congress leaderships are top-rate remainiacs who, in one fell swoop, have shattered the hopes of millions of working people crying out for a Jeremy Corbyn government.

In one utterly idiotic manoeuvre they have damned the 2017 election manifesto to complete oblivion.

Any lingering link with the anti-democratic European Union is to stamp all over the 17.4 million voters who demanded that Britain leave the transnational corporation’s stitch-up for the elimination of the trade union, democratic and human rights of 500 million people.

The Leave vote represented a body blow to international capital and set the scene for a continent-wide exodus from the bosses’ cartel.

Unless the trade union and Labour movement mobilises to reverse this decision and secure respect for the democratic will of the British people, the Labour Party can wave goodbye to any chance of winning the next general election, whenever it comes, as millions of working-class voters desert the party and stay at home come polling day.

The political, economic and democratic price will consume all the advances won by the left in recent years and leave the space and opportunity open for an assortment of racists, fascists and neo-nazis to take advantage of.

You have been warned.
