As the Labour Party meet in Brighton with their Brexit stance in disarray Shadow Minister Dawn Bulter has caused controversy after saying British “banks and businesses” must pay reparations for slavery and comparing supporters of Prime Minister Boris Johnson to members of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).

Butler told the assembled delegates: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing.”

“Boris Johnson, Donald Trump – these are just some of the bad racist men who are combining, and we are the good people who need to associate.”

Meanwhile Guido Fawkes reports on an internal poll that shows the shocking views of the average Labour Party member with two thirds ashamed of our history:

Ian Austin’s Mainstream commissioned polling from YouGov of Labour Party members and found a party that has moved on a long way from being Blair’s “political wing of the British people”. Corbyn’s Marxist Labour Party is very different and so are the members. Of course we knew they would nationalise and tax everything that moves and seek to muzzle the opposition press – there are however a whole raft of sentiments that are shocking.

YouGov’s poll of over 1,100 members shows how out of touch with Labour voters the middle-class lefties really are:

79% want to control who runs newspapers

69% think it would be legitimate for unions to stage a general strike to bring down a Tory government;

TWO THIRDS believe the party doesn’t have a problem with anti-Semitism, OVER HALF believe the crisis is the fault of the media or Corbyn’s opponents;

Members would rather do a post-Brexit trade deal with Russia than Israel!

Astounding difference with popular opinion shows how out of touch with the working classes Labour is nowadays:

TWO-THIRDS are ashamed of Britain’s history;
MORE blame the British Government and Army for the Troubles in Northern Ireland than say it was the fault of the IRA;
MORE THAN HALF would feel bored, embarrassed or angry about singing the National Anthem – only 10% would be happy to sing “God Save the Queen”
SIX in ten want to abolish the royals for a republic;

This comes as Unite boss Len McCluskey has told pro-Remain shadow cabinet ministers such as Tom Watson and Emily Thornberry to either support Jeremy Corbyn’s position on a second referendum or “step aside”. The once proud party appears to be in a state of meltdown and is losing popularity with its working class heartlands.
