Everyone should be alarmed at this, this is Labour taking a firm stance against the strikes and once again Kier Starmer showing he is a man without principles and you cannot trust a word he says.
But they weren’t sacked for doing that.
Isn’t this the very ethos of the Labour movement? As a person from a very working class background, this is one of many reasons I could never bring myself to vote for Kier Starmer.
There must be millions like me.
Shame on you Kier Starmer. You’re about as representative of working class values as Boris, JR Mogg or Gove.
To point out the facts. He did an interview without permission. He gave himself a promotion and then made up a policy while doing so. This has nothing to do with him being on the picket line, it is entirely him being unprofessional. Others went on the picket without being sacked
They claim they sacked him for going against collective responsibility of the cabinet (shadow cabinet). As he went on an unauthorised media appearance and seemingly made unauthorised declarations that were at odds with what Labour were putting out. And not because he was on the picket line. That’s what they’ve said anyway.
> When pressed on this alleged breach of collective responsibility, Mr Tarry said no one had told him not to be on a picket line.
Was he the only person in the country not aware Starmer had said that?
It’s another own goal by Starmer. He’s been one-on-one with a useless, tubby goalie for two years but every time he seems certain to score he puts it over the bar. This should have been kept in-house. Give the guy a reprimand and explain to him that a Labour party that appears to be in thrall to the unions will never win an election. Job done. Instead, he seeks to calm middle England by sacking the bloke just to show that he can’t be pushed around by the Corbynite left but only ends up inflaming his own party.
About time the unions realise Starmer does not want to be their voice and start another party. It’s been done once it can be done again.
Lot of union members I’ve spoken to tonight don’t believe the reason he’s been sacked. They think Keir made an excuse and tbh I can believe that.
Well done labour you managed to turn a substantial amount of union members against you.
Couldn’t give a shit if my vote would decide if Keir was pm or not if he’s head of labour Id spoil my ballot.
He did an interview without permission and made up policy. you know who else did. Rachel Reeves. Yesterday. You know who isn’t sacked. the non-left wing one.
Labour needs to split into its two original parties again. It’s the only way this internal war will ever end.
STARMER OUT!!!
Well the headline is a bag of lies.
People saying that he did actually break the rules, shouldn’t he have received a disciplinary before being sacked? IIRC most jobs are supposed to give you a chance to correct your behaviour before you’re out the door
If you can’t force your MPs to do whatever you want then what do their constituents vote for them for?
Can someone please explain what “policy he made up” because everyone is just saying that and not actually what he’s said that is apparently sackable
The BBC is still reporting him as the shadow minister then call him a Jr minister in the headline
Such bs
Many people only read the headline though, its going to damage labour
They should be fucking outraged and with draw their support both vocal and financial.
The Labour 9party is now just a left wing version of the tory party.
Well, Labour. You’re up against one of the worst governments in recent history and all you’ve got to do is ***not*** do the wrong thing. And that’s *still* too hard for you?
Why are there so many fucking Starmer shills in this thread? The “making up policy” excuse is bullshit as the likes of Rachel Reeves and David Lammy also made up policy recently, but as they’re sufficiently right wing they weren’t sacked. And the fact that awarding workers an above-inflation pay rise *isn’t* Labour policy just goes to show how much the party has lost touch with the people it’s supposed to represent.
The unions aren’t the only ones ashamed . Plenty of
Members have resigned over this
IS Starmer trying to lose voters?. Doing what he has just done, is making me think seriously what direction my vote is going. If the Tories are not going to negotiate properly with the unions, then there nothing left for them to do, but go on strike. They are not going on strike for the fun of it, then striking is the last resort, they don’t want to strike, but have too if, if they want a fair days pay for a fair days work, which the Tories doesn’t want to give, only because it means less money going in the pockets of shareholders. Maybe Starmer has shares in it?.
Automate the ticket offices aotomate the stations and sack the fucking lot
So they should be, after all being betrayed by an organisation that was given life by the union movement has to be a devastating blow.
Tories threatening to ban strikes, like you know, that Austrian guy in the 30s. Yet here we are talking about internal conflicts on the left, almost as if that’s what they want us to do…
