TO the deluded soul who signed themselves Old Labour Sedbury, I would say that Miliband and his millionaire socialist cronies do not represent working people.

In the past Labour was the party for those who toiled for low wages and lived and worked in far from pleasant conditions.

Yet these days the political party that started out as a defender and fighter for social justice has become a refuge for politicians who are autocratic and privileged themselves.

Few, if any, have experienced the realities of poverty or menial, low paid work.

Fifty per cent of Labour party members live in London. Less than 10 per cent of Labour MPs have a manual background.

Rather than facilitate improving standards in everything from education to healthcare they espouse waste and inefficiency.

Labour still has the class war ideological mentality but use it to keep their natural supporters dependent on high spending, authoritarian, nanny state, big government bureaucrats and politicians.

The only party that really wants to improve the lot of the working poor is UKIP.
