New low for Starmer: Workers at the Party of the Workers are to go on strike
For the many? It seems “the many” are deserting the Labour Party in their thousands, in disgust at Keir Starmer.
Staff at Labour Party HQ who are members of trade unions have voted overwhelmingly to strike, in protest at the plan to sack 90 of their number and replace them with short-term contractors in exactly the kind of ‘fire-and-rehire’ deal that leader Keir Starmer claims to oppose.
It is suggested that they voted to strike by a majority of three to one:
• 75% of unionised Labour Staff at HQ have just voted in support of strike action against Labour for the 90 redundancies planned.
• This is the third round of redundancies Labour staff have been battered with in 1.5 years
Enough is enough

It’s doubtful that this has anything to do with Starmer’s attack on the unions (he has spoken out against Unite’s new boss Sharon Graham, while Bakers’ union BFAWU boss Ian Hodson is in danger of auto-exclusion, apparently on a trumped-up charge) – but it is also doubtful that it will do their relationship any good.
Labour was originally formed to give working-class people representation in Parliament.
The fact that the party’s current leadership sees nothing wrong with betraying its own employees – and therefore its very reason for existing – is more damning than anything This Writer can say about it.
I just hope it goes the distance and they all walk out between September 25 and 29 (at least) – because those are the dates of the Labour Party Conference.

If the Conservative Party got to pick a leader and set all of his policies and make his decisions for him for the Labour Party even THEY wouldn’t go this far. It wouldn’t be believable.
He is simply NOT a Labour supporter and yet he runs the party. Johnsons will have to screw up royally and continuously to outdo him to the extent where he can’t get voted in.
He is so bad for Labour he could finish the party..
