SIR – What is the problem in today’s politics, may I ask?

A great wave of fear has blown up because many now think Ed Miliband’s Labour party is drifting back to the socialist left.

For goodness sake, Labour is a socialist party, or one would suppose.

If it is going back to its socialist roots, it has my backing along with many traditional Labour supporters, I am sure, and about time in my view – the sooner the better.
