#JeremyCorbyn on #Labour's new positioning, #KeirStarmer's leadership and his own campaign running as an independent in the #GeneralElection. I almost tear up everytime I hear him, because such political honesty and consistency has become a rarity in the #UK political landscape. Please heed his words: "there are many diverse forces that are opposing this Conservative government. All kinds of political alliances will arise after the election: stick to your principles!"

It's also worth remembering that they commissioned Mr Forde to independently investigate all this stuff, but his report didn't go the way they expected & was shelved for months. He wasn't happy.

One of the most confusing issues in Leftie political debate is Kenta's social class. In the orthodox Marxian view it's simple: maybe Kenta is petit bourgeois, but he's certainly an employer, and that's it: upper class. In the sociological view, it's equally simple: Kenta is a skilled manual labourer with a few employees and probably no university degree: working class. Then there's the American usage, where as the owner of a small construction business, Kenta is middle class.
