Trade unionist expelled from Labour Party for supporting Labour political ideas
Expelled: Bernadette Gallagher.
Keir Starmer should slither back out of the Labour Party over this (although we know he won’t):
Senior Labour MPs often say they agree with political opponents & Keir Starmer made a point of saying he will not oppose for opposition’s sake, but will support Tory policy where (he thinks) it is sensible
Why is that any different to liking things said by the @BThroughParty?

A higher living – I think ‘troovus’ meant minimum – wage and public ownership of energy firms are good Labour Party policies.
And supporting the sentiment expressed in a tweet (as they were then known) is not the same as supporting the political organisation that published it.
Starmer has colleagues in the Parliamentary Labour Party who – along with the man himself – habitually say they agree with the policies of other parties. Starmer himself has even publicly agreed with actions of the Tories!
So, in having Bernadette Gallagher expelled, Starmer brands himself a hypocrite, a traitor to his party and a liar (in claiming that she had supported another political party, in violation of Labour rules).
That alone should render him unsuitable for your support in a general election.

have asked my Labour party branch for Labour’s position on this and if liking a tweet really constitutes support.
