Quite good.
However, I did not much like the populism part. Is the attitude of people based on fact or is it based on myth?
Feeding myths is wrong and should be opposed. Labour should be challenging 'nasty populism' and certainly not pandering to it.
Pandering to it will only encourage the newspapers and other politicians to come up with more lies.
Late last year, even David Blunkett warned that the Labour Party cannot outdo the Conservative Party on immigration.
