There doesn\u2019t seem to be any feeling that anyone in the labour party is English. You should ask members of the public if Jeremy Corbyn is English, I doubt if many will know.<br \/>\nSuch a shame because you are right, no-one want\u2019s the tories, but the Labour party does not recognise that England is the land of the English, it\u2019s our home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"unapproved\">Your comment is awaiting moderation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wrote this as a comment to Labour must speak for England by Joe Jervis in Progress a Labour party magasine.
