In 1989 Frank Field was deselected, lost a vote to TGWU activist Paul Field 45.6% vs 50.6%, wrote a 150 page dossier to the Labour NEC about Militant infiltration, they overturned the vote, he narrowly won a re-run. Big fan of Enoch Powell too.https://twitter.com/MediocreDave/status/930562798232449024 …
Dismissing Field’s criticism of immigration isn’t exactly representative of your claimed class is it

Tom Dupré: a professional politician who supported Tory workfare schemes is a great representative of the working class because he's anti-immigration. Also Tom Dupré: "I’m appalled" that far right group Generation Identity of which I was the leader had neo-nazis in it.

I would happily bet money Frank Field’s support compared to Corbyn’s skews far more towards the working class. I don’t think you’d seriously deny that either
-
We don't support either Field or Corbyn so how they do on polling is a bit irrelevant really.
-
Fair enough but it’s not about polling is it. Attacking Fields for supporting Powell (which I’m not convinced he did) is attacking the concerns of the exact demographic you claim to speak for / defend
-
So you either know fuck all about Frank Field or are pretending not to. Either is inexcusable. Same as your 'accidental' leadership of a group with known neo-nazis.https://twitter.com/libcomorg/status/1035193750648020992 …

Many MPs have said similar - he was supposedly a very agreeable man. You implied Fields endorsed his views on immigration. Even if he had, they are more representative of general working class (or any class bar a tiny elite) attitudes to immigration than your output is
-
You should try actually reading about the history of the working class in the UK, on our site for example, instead of just using them to project your weird immigration fantasies.https://libcom.org/library/the-grunwick-strike-a-sivanandan …
