Urmstongran
Funny how i think I’m just right of centre too! We should all be getting on really well yet the political threads can get so heated haha!
?
Well, as I have stated Urmstongran, I think of myself as near hard left and you think of yourself as centre-right and yet we, I feel, have never fallen out personally on this forum.
However, as you state, with a Conservative government carrying out hard-left policies we certainly ALL should be getting on well together. ?
That stated with it being announced that Len McCluskey is to retire in the next few months, the Unite Union, many believe, will take a hard left turn in its political policies and they are the Labour Parties largest funding provider.
Already there is talk within Unite that they may stop funding what they view now as a right-wing Labour Party.
McCluskey has been a great leader of Unite and through that the whole broader Labour movement in the country. His name will surely go down in the history books with the likes of Jack Jones, Hugh Scanlon, Clement Atlee and Ernest Bevin in terms of left-wing leadership.
