MY father voted Labour all his life in those halcyon days when leaders of political parties, for example Clement Atlee and Harold Wilson, formed a credible party in power or opposition.

However, it is sad to relate that Jeremy Corbyn’s lamentable performance over recent months on the floor of the House of Commons, Brexit and all, defies all understanding.

Politics today, for all parties, is a minefield.
