Labour ‘cannot dodge’ debate on the future of the monarchy after Queen’s death | Keir Starmer and his frontbench team are firmly in favour of the Royal Family – but a fringe event at the Labour conference will argue in favour of a republic.

If they’re worried about holes in our democracy perhaps they could sort out proportional representation first
Can always rely on labour to fall apart and have a crisis when they’re ahead in the polls with 0 external pressure.
Nah labour won’t touch this as it would just push voters to the Tory party.
Play the middle ground while the Tory party continue to self destruct then win the next election.
Labour under Corbyn maybe but Kier Starmer is a wet blanket, he won’t touch this issue.
Can’t wait to see Charlie go from King, to Burger King.
It’s a fringe event. Labour doesn’t control or sanction them and it doesn’t impact the main conference. It’s people on the outside organising their own thing.
Another fringe element trying to hijack the conference with their unpalatable and minority views. Is this really important? I swear there’s a fifth column just enjoying losing and are rabid at the moment that starmer is winning every argument…
Overwhelming majority support the statusquo, so not really much of a debate worth having right now.
Never underestimate Labour’s capacity to be its own worst enemy.
That’ll be the deep cover tories stirring up shit again. Amazing how often this party falls apart when it builds a little bit of momentum and nobody questions it.
