If there were any hopes that the Labour Party would start doing its job again by representing the interests of the British working class, they have been destroyed by Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's latest speech on Brexit.
In the major policy speech, delivered by the swivel-eyed, stumpy toothed party leader before an audience at Coventry University, he betrayed the White working class two times, first by continuing to back mass immigration, and secondly by siding with German and other European exporters, who dump their overproduction on British markets, undermining the skilled jobs that can support a healthy family.
On immigration he took the globalist business line, which would radically reduce the already depressed wages of working class Britons:
Labour would design our immigration policy around the needs of the economy based on fair rules and the reasonable management of migration.
We would not do what this government is doing, start from rigid red lines on immigration and then work out what that means for the economy afterwards.
As Diane Abbott, our Shadow Home Secretary, set out last week, “We do not begin with, ‘how do we reduce immigration?’, and to hell with the consequences. Those are Tory policies and Tory values.”
Meanwhile his support for keeping the UK in the EU customs union would protect a massive trade deficit with EU countries that destroys UK manufacturing jobs. Not only this, but it would also prevent Britain doing beneficial trade deals with other countries, as this would be completely controlled by the EU, without any say from the UK. This of course would be used greatly to Britain's disadvantage.
Right now, this is a major point of difference between the policies of the Labour Party and the Conservative Party, which is pressing to leave the customs union.
But while some Conservtives are sincere "Brexiteers" seeking Britain's best collective interests, a large part of the party remains toxicly Europhile. Corbyn's policy change was designed to appeal to this group, who value their cheap Eastern European hookers and cheap holidays in the Algarve, in order to weaken and divide the government. In short it is a power-grabbing move.

Right now this group is acting in support of British workers, but once the EU makes enough concessions to the City of London, they too will quickly fall in line with a plan to maintain a customs union, which now sees EU producers exporting a lot more to the UK than they import from it.
In the first three months of 2016, the trade deficit in goods between the the UK and the EU was an enormous £34.7 billion (c.$50 billion), with Germany being the main beneficiary.

Mass immigration and a customs union that allows the middle classes to keep buying their German cars and enjoying their holidays in Tuscany -- these are the policies of champagne socialists, not real left-wingers.
Britain's politcal vacuum grows and can only be filled by a true nationalist party.
