Labour sacks shadow transport minister who backed strikes.

Is the NHS safe in Starmers hands video. Dr Bob Gill says no. There should be no private providers in the NHS. Wes Streeting received money from a donor with private health care interests.

Starmer just sacked one of his front bench MPs for appearing on a picket line.
It’s time for the movement to sack Keir Starmer. Trigger a leadership challenge now!

200,000 + people have left the Labour Party. Here is why

The Labour Party has lost at least 200,000 members according to Ann Black of Labour’s National Executive Committee. This is a major blow for the party’s finances, taking it to near bankruptcy. It also reflects a dramatic percentage loss of members. One in every three Labour Party members since 2019 has jumped ship. Why?

Fancy calling The Guardian the gutter press ?

The gutter press are desperate to print front page pictures of Labour MP’s on picket lines. They’ll say this is what a Labour government will result in. And the electorate, who are happy to forget Johnson and his lying, will remember it. The Conservative government are fuelling this dispute.

Official explanation.

I think it was the right decision and it's about time we stopped defining labour as "For the working man" and Conservative as "for the rich", it may have been appropriate in the past but it is not relative now and we need political parties to reflect that change. Strikes harm everyone and those that can do the most harm benefit tbh I'm not happy with that, why should a train driver have more "clout" than a care worker?

Because they are unionised. That is an argument for unions.

No I'm a robot ?

He's Angela Rayner boyfriend he left his wife and family for her. Rayner should be ashamed of herself in my opinion, I bet she supports the strikes. If Labour ever got into power God help us with her as Deputy PM.

Good heavens, Maudi. Are you for real? There are times when you sound like a parody account on twitter.

Jolly good job that Starmer isn’t influenced by his mates then isn’t it. Johnson would have defended him.

Starmer - straight down the line.

Tory in the past.

I am not a ‘Tory voter’
I am someone who has voted Labour in the past. I have also voted Labour in the past.
I’ll never vote Labour again though, not because they’ve sacked someone for supporting rail workers, but because they don’t seem to know what a woman is anymore.

To clarify, I didn’t say to Kandinsky she shouldn’t comment, I asked her why as a Tory voter she cared about the issue, which she hasn’t answered, I am waiting for her view.

*All Labour voters do on here is whinge about the conservatives*

The use of words like 'whinge' only divides us and makes it really hard to have meaningful debate that will take us somewhere.

Whinging and raising genuine concern backed up by evidence are two separate things altogether.

It is the Johnson Brexity effect

What is happening to the Labour Party?
A party born out of the trade union movement.

Why do you care Kandinsky, when you have made it abundantly clear that you’ve always been a Tory voter?

Are Conservative voters not allowed to comment on Labour Party issues?

Actually I think of course they should be!

I think that the OP misunderstands the Labour Governments roll.

The Labour movement was formed to allow the working man a democratic input into decisions made by the U.K. government.

Kandinsky

Incorrect.
I have voted Labour in the past & have said that many times on here.

Ditto.

Must remember that comment for future reference next time a Labour or LibDem voter starts a thread about the Tory government!

Just commented on another thread, but would say that Labour's thinking appears to be to try to put to bed the accusation that the RMT action is a 'Labour' strike. Shadow Cabinet members on the picket line could tend to reinforce that idea.

I can't say that I can recall Shadow Labour ministers on picket lines in previous years, but the memory is getting elderly.

I don't think there's any comeback on backbench MPs if they go on picket lines.

Kandinsky

The Labour Party are no longer the party of the working man.

In what respect exactly?

The Labour Party are no longer the party of the working man.

She didn’t comment though GrannyGravy13, it would have been fine if she had given her view.

Indeed.
All Labour voters do on here is whinge about the conservatives.
