I fly to Strasbourg to meet MEPs. On the little Air France plane, I note a slumped, sullen Robert Kilroy-Silk, not talking to UKIP ex-colleagues. I do not know who has split from whom and do not much care. Every nation in Europe has its Kilroy-Silks and Redwoods. Anti-EU politicians are commonplace in France, Belgium, Poland, Austria, Italy and Sweden. Most are on the right; some proclaiming a concern for social values, are on the left. It is only two decades since the Labour party was under the control of its home-grown Redwoods, with their incantations against Europe. Labour learnt a bitter lesson that, while anti-EU rhetoric would win applause at a party conference, it turned voters off. When will Conservative MPs learn that lesson?

And there you go, an admission that the Labour party doesn't stand for any other reason, than to obtain power itself. To scared to try and put over a case based on beliefs, just votes at any cost. They make me sick!
