Septic Starmer’s new policies attack nurses and teachers – like a toxic Tory
Apt: Keir Starmer reckons he was named after original Labour leader Hardie – but can anyone doubt that his illustrious forerunner might have said these words, if confronted with evidence of Starmer’s determination to destroy the party he helped to found.
Keir Starmer has, it seems, provided ample further evidence that he is deliberately trying to destroy the Labour Party from within.
According to Skwawkbox, Starmer’s Labour would freeze the pay of teachers and nurses.
The claim follows comments by Tory Michael Fabricant that Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak should be excused their criminal lawbreaking (and dishonesty, in Johnson’s case) in attending the infamous Downing Street parties.
He said he knew of nurses and teachers who went for a quiet drink in staff rooms after shifts during lockdown.
According to the BBC,
Teaching leaders criticised the comments as “deeply insulting”… The RCN said it wanted to formally complain.
RCN general secretary and chief executive Pat Cullen criticised the MP’s comments and said nurses and nursing support staff would, after finishing well past the end of their shifts, “get home, clean their uniforms, shower and collapse into bed” rather than “have a quiet one in the staff room”.
“It is utterly demoralising – and factually incorrect – to hear you suggest that our diligent, safety critical profession, can reasonably be compared to any elected official breaking the law, at any time,”
Paul Whiteman, general secretary of the NAHT school leaders’ union, said in a letter to the education secretary Mr Fabricant’s suggestion was “wholly inaccurate and deeply insulting” to teachers as a profession.
Mr Fabricant’s comments were “as insulting as they are offensive”, Mary Bousted, joint general secretary of the National Education Union, said.
And now it seems Starmer is in full agreement with the Tory (again) and determined to stick the knife into teachers and nurses too.
Other policies announced by Starmer, according to Skwawkbox, include:
- Protecting non doms – Labour wants to ‘reform’ the system that allows hugely-wealthy foreigners to live tax-free in the UK, just as the Tories are already planning to do. Is this because Starmer is still scrabbling around for donations to save his nigh-on-bankrupt party?
- And arresting environmental campaigners and people who go on strike to defend their rights from removal by government.
If this is true, then it validates that great Left thinker Noam Chomsky’s assertion that Starmer’s Labour is “Thatcher-lite” and there’s no difference between his so-called “Opposition” and the hated Boris Johnson Tory government – an administration that fits all the qualifications to be described as Fascist.
And this is interesting. Only days ago, on Facebook, several commenters vociferously objected after I suggested that voters should boycott Labour in the May 5 local elections in order to engineer a change in that party’s direction before Starmer gives Boris Johnson an even bigger Parliamentary majority at the next general election.
Considering the implications of this – and of what it means about future policies from Starmer’s toxic team – I wonder if those people are ready to change their minds?

So why is this page not promoting TUSC to vote for, in Labour council areas, in the few places TUSC got funded to run in, when so many TUSC candidates are trade unionists.
TUSC has the expertise behind it, decades old, to actually directly help people from councils from May win.
There are 276 TUSC candidates, comprising of 231 local council candidates contesting seats in
55 local authorities in England (plus three mayoral candidacies), 16 candidates contesting
seats in nine authorities in Scotland, and 26 candidates contesting seats in five authorities
in Wales.
TUSC has the knowledge to help people in this dire cost of living crisis.

If traditional Labour Voters cannot see that the “democratic socialist party” is dead in the water since Blair and now Starmer took leadership then they don’t deserve a party representative of ordinary non privileged citizenry and by that I mean the working class NOT aspiring middle class.
I had hopes that the SEP, Unions and other socialist groups would gather with Corbyn and organise something that would in essence “replace” the now defunct Labour Party. If that is not going to happen then we are reduced to a one party voting system offering Far Right, Right Wing Party and Lost in the outlands Liberal Right Wing Parties. THAT is not a true democracy any more than the US two party system who offer much the same thing regardless of their differences.
Labour, Thatcher Lite? Nope, Thatcher Heavy is more like.
