If you look at his earlier work before he took over the party he was an adamant supporter of 'Clause 4' which called for 'all means of production to be in the hands of the state' . He then realised that the core 'working class wouls vote Labour or not at all but aspirational voters would vote for anyone who offered lower taxes and improved services , and made sure that Hermione and Tarquin didnt have to mix with Darren and Stacey at school (generalisation). So he lost his principles and sold out for power.
Me - BITTER what makes you think that ?
