Tisk tisk, taking half a million quid from the CCP and then asking their staff to take a pay cut.
Almost like expelling half the members and alienating the trade unions, the party’s main donors, was a massive mistake.
From a Tory donors point of view why would you donate to Starmer’s Diet Tory when you keep giving money to the real deal and get actual material benefits with no concessions not even token ones, to the working class?
Politics is class struggle and the rich know where their bread is buttered and where their interests lie and even with a middle of the road tepid centrist like starmer in charge their interests are not in the Labour Party. That’s what makes Starmer’s cosying up and bending over them even more pathetic. Because it’s futile. The biggest businesses have everything they want and more from tories. Starmer needs the unions far more than they need him and we’ve seen this with the wave of job losses and budget cuts to internal labour departments. Some say he’s doing this deliberately as a state agent but I’m not convinced by this logic yet, for me it’s the bumblings of someone who is permenantly stuck in the liberal politics of the 1990s believing in a good or competent capitalism while the tories and their backers have moved way past that into open naked profiteering and power grabbing and have no intentions of going back to having to pretend this island is a meritocracy or anything other than a giant pyramid scheme for a few thousand rich families.
The irony is the one politician who did understand this they all worked tirelessly to sabotage and destroyed him. Well you’ve Made your bed now lie in it starmer and co.
At least the adults are in charge, apparently can’t manage finances, but oh well
All they need to do is give Russia a free hand to do what they want on British soil and they will flood the party with cash!
Worked a treat for the Tories over the last couple of decades.
Aye gonna be funny seeing them paint themselves as “for the workers” when they can’t offer their own workers a fair pay rise.
Do they have plans to raise more funds? A temporary pay cut when inflation is rising sharply and the energy price cap is close to ending is not going to go down well if it is going to be a long-term cut. Labour are going to need funds even more desperately, otherwise they will lose the staff that keep the party going.
I wonder if this means Starmer will feel he needs to cut a deal with trade unions – cash in return for Corbyns whip?
A 2% pay rise amounting to a real terms pay cut. Let’s have accurate titles please.
I hear Barry knows someone who could donate them a bob or two.
