Oxbridge Labour is too elitist and fails to connect with working classes, says Milaid

[Paddy]

A close ally of Ed Miliband has attacked Labour’s leadership for being too elitist – meaning it fails to connect with working-class people.

Lord Glasman, a leading academic and friend of the Labour leader, said senior politicians in the party were drawn from ‘too narrow’ a group of Oxbridge graduates.

He warned that their privileged backgrounds had become a ‘crucial’ problem for the party.

Rumour has it that William Hague is a politician that has come connect with the people so-to-speak. More to leak out hum hum over the next few weeks.
