He’s pandering to big money donors and hasn’t been overly supportive of unions. He’s made his own bed.
> The Labour Party I lead is not going to be influenced by threats from anybody, whoever they are. And that’s just an absolute matter of principle for me
I prefer the founding principle of the Labour Party which is to stand with workers, not getting pissy when someone challenges you
His local bin crew should just leave his bins uncollected.
What a stupid public stance by Graham.
Starmer can’t be seen to be controlled by the unions or it’ll tank Labour’s chances.
She must know this, so this is calculated.
“Work shoulder to shoulder with trade unions to stand up for working people, tackle insecure work and low pay. Repeal the Trade Union Act. Oppose Tory attacks on the right to take industrial action and the weakening of workplace rights.”
Still on his ten pledges website btw.
he acted like he was entitled to the british muslim vote in Batley and here he acting like he is entitled trade union funding.
he is just showing that he’s the leader of the wrong party
She shouldn’t have gone public with the demand.
Starmer can’t be seen to be interfering from Labour head office into the affairs of an elected council in Coventry because the nationwide Labour party’s funding is being threatened. Democratically he doesn’t have the right to do that. Theoretically, he does by either offering the councillors some political reward or threatening to withhold it, however he can’t do that publically.
Now she has gone public with it he is going to have to stay well clear of it. Not a word to the council lest it looks dodgy as fuck.
By the way, the number of people on here who seem to think the councillors report to the parliamentary party leader in Westminster is very concerning. Please read up on how our council system works.
stop being a diet tory while expecting labour voters to support you.
herr stormer is more right wing than the clown.
The labour party isn’t ‘owed’ allegiance, votes, and finances just for existing Keir. If people don’t feel that your policies represent their interests, it is well within their right to take their support elsewhere. Saying that “their being mean and threatening me” is to assume their support is yours by right, and that therefore removing it is some kind of political theft or offensive attack. When the reality is that their support is theirs to use how they see best, and they simply think you’re no longer worthy.
If your mental health at least in part replies on not having a tory govt next election I would suggest you start working on that and finding other ways to be happy.
The tories arent losing anytime soon.
They are testing the waters for scapegoating boris atm and the “truth” will be – we did our best to guide the country through the pandemic with Boris at the helm, imagine what we could do without him”.
My FiL is a very wealthy man, he loved Boris and the tories, he still loves the tories and is starting to blame it all on boris… the system is working as intended.
Yeah exactly. The Conservatives are the natural party of government. Despite BJ’s current unpopularity they’ll still outperform Labour in an election no matter which faction is in charge.
