CWU joins Unite in withdrawing donations to Westminster Labour Party
Labour’s worst leader: Starmer keeps screwing up so This Site will keep using this image.
The Communications Workers Union (CWU) has withdrawn its support from Keir Starmer.
A special conference of the union voted to provide only its affiliation fee to the national Labour Party from now on:

The union’s general secretary, Dave Ward, said the union would focus on individual Labour members who support its own aims: “In focusing our political resources on those in Labour who are really up for delivering for our members we are looking beyond the factional war being waged by an out-of-touch Westminster politics.
“This is a positive step for our union and a real offer to those in Labour who want to change things on the ground.”
It’s another defeat for Keir Starmer, who must now take the financial hit implied by the loss of the union’s funding. Coming on top of the #LabourDataBreach this puts his further-right-wing-than-the-Tories party in financial danger.
Too bad:
