Labour-saving advice

I am not one of its supporters, but as someone who has a passion for democracy I am increasingly concerned that the once-great Labour Party is now being run and controlled by a load of Left-wing militants who will, if they get a chance, prevent debate and become a baying mob.

The Labour Party today is a joke but potentially a very dangerous one which could ruin the UK.

What I would say to all those fairminded people who have traditionally voted Labour is join your local branches and regain control of your party. Then and only then will it ever have any chance of becoming a government again.

Finally, I would like to say well done to those Labour MPs who continue to stand up and defy their leader, for the core true policies of a modern Labour Party not those of a Left-wing militant group. Peter rAmSAy, helensburgh.
