Tory anti-strike Bill fails to understand why workers need to take industrial action

1 Reply

Striking nurses: the only reason these people are taking action is to protect the health service that protects YOU. And the Tories are trying to demonise them for it. Who do you support?

While Keir Starmer talks a lot of nonsense about the NHS – particularly failures by ambulance crews to reach people in time – Jeremy Corbyn highlights the reasons such people are going on strike.

Today (Monday, May 22, 2023), the Tory government’s anti-strike Bill returns to Parliament, with its requirement that industries including the health service, rail, education, fire, and border security provide ‘minimum service levels’.

Mr Corbyn makes what should be the obvious point: people in these industries are striking because their bosses won’t allow them to meet these minimum levels:

Doctors and nurses are striking because patients are dying.

Teachers are striking because children are suffering.

Postal workers are striking because Royal Mail is failing.

If the Tories cared about “minimum service levels”, they would support workers’ demands for fully-funded and fully-staffed public services.

Instead, by overriding the fundamental right to strike, they are preventing people from fighting for the safety of us all.

That’s Mr Corbyn’s main message, but there is another: this attack on strikers is supported by corporate greed.

“In scapegoating NHS staff, teachers, railway workers, posties and civil servants, the government is forcing ordinary people to pay the price for a crisis caused by decades of austerity, economic mismanagement, and corporate greed,” he writes.

“This price is paid through real-terms cuts to their wages. It’s paid through the stress and anxiety of an increased workload. And it’s paid through public bailouts of failing private companies that continue to destroy the services upon which we all rely.”

Put simply: the attack on strikers is an attack on workers’ pay and the quality of the services they provide, purely to make more profit for bosses and shareholders who don’t use those services and don’t care.

70,000+ demand Labour restore whip to Corbyn. Will Starmer say they’re ALL anti-Semites?

2 Replies

Jeremy Corbyn: no, he wasn’t signing the petition for his own reinstatement in the Parliamentary Labour Party – in fact he was writing about Jews including Roza Robota, Szmul Zygielbojm and Anne Frank, in the Holocaust Educational Trust’s book of remembrance. Anti-Semite? Don’t make us laugh, Starmer.

Remember This Site’s article yesterday (May 20, 2023), ridiculing Jewish Labour Movement chair Mike Katz for praising Keir Starmer’s handling of “cranks”, “racists” and “extremists”?

I quoted his comments about Jeremy Corbyn as an example of this, in which he claimed of the most committed anti-racist in Parliament: “His reluctance to show any remorse and his continual denial and downplaying of the problem makes him the author of his own demise and negates any claim he can make to actually being anti-racist.”

And yet on the same day Vox Political published its article, more than 70,000 people were revealed to have signed a petition demanding that Starmer’s Labour restore the party whip to Mr Corbyn.

It also demands that the Labour Party in the Islington North constituency be allowed to select their own candidate for the next general election, after the party’s National Executive Committee supported a Starmer motion barring Mr Corbyn from standing.

According to the Morning Star,

The Islington North MP and former Labour leader had the party whip withdrawn after saying anti-semitism within Labour had been “overstated for political reasons” and was blocked from representing Labour in the next general election earlier this year by an unrelated motion to the NEC claiming he would undermine Labour’s chances of forming a government because he led it to defeat in 2019.

LAAA national organiser Matt Willgress criticised Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer for breaching a campaign promise that local party members should select their candidates for every election.

Young Labour activist and Arise volunteer Fraser McGuire said it is clear that many Labour members and supporters want to protect party democracy and allow Islington North CLP members to select their own candidate.

He said this would “undoubtedly” be Mr Corbyn.

Campaign for Labour Party Democracy co-chairwoman Rachel Garnham said it was unsurprising that tens of thousands feel “aggrieved by Starmer’s hypocrisy and top-down approach to candidate selection.”

An Islington Friends of Corbyn spokesperson said people are “angrier than ever about the continuing injustice” against Mr Corbyn and the constituency.

This Writer feels sure that these people won’t be voting Labour in a future election, if they don’t get their way.

What will Keir Starmer do in response – brand them all as anti-Semites?

Of course, the petition makes a nonsense of Katz’s claim that Starmer had properly handled “cranks”, “racists” and “extremists” in the Labour.

Instead, it strongly suggests that Starmer has vindictively attacked honest, hard-working Labour Party members whose only crime was standing up for the positive values the party was formed to represent – rather than the perverted, narcissistic, power-for-its-own-sake policies of the current leader.

And we haven’t even touched on StarmerLabour’s anti-black racism yet. Look for that in a future article.

Islington North Labour defies Starmer to support Jeremy Corbyn. What will he do now?

Leave a reply

Remember when Keir Starmer said this?

“The selections for Labour Party candidates needs [sic] to be more democratic and we should end NEC impositions of candidates. Local Party members should select their candidates for every election.”

Well, Islington North Constituency Labour Party has done just that – passing a motion of support for MP Jeremy Corbyn and expressing the desire that he should be their candidate in the next general election.

There’s a problem with that: Keir Starmer’s NEC has ruled that Mr Corbyn may no longer stand for election as a Labour Party candidate. He demanded this NEC imposition in spite of his own words from 2020 that you see at the top of this article.

Responses from those of us who keep an eye on the retreat of democracy in the Labour Party have drawn the logical conclusions:

Indeed. Starmer won’t respect the wishes of Labour Party members and is likely to impose his own preferred candidate (some are already suggesting that Sam Tarry has been chosen). Also…

… it does seem likely that Starmer will take revenge on the constituency delegates who voted against his orders.

No doubt we shall see what he does soon enough.

Want your politicians to actually represent you? Vote for the independents!

Keir Starmer’s style of leadership: “Do what I tell you, whether you like it or not!”

Have you noticed how Labour MPs who get pushed out of the party suddenly regain their ability to represent their constituents again?

Look – here’s Jeremy Corbyn:

And here’s Claudia Webbe:

Contrast them with this story of Keir Starmer, Labour’s leader, taking part in a football match against Scottish Labour – but only if his side won:

The message is clear: if you’re a representative of the Labour Party under Keir Starmer, you do what Starmer wants – whether it is good for the electorate or not.

Get out of the Labour Party and you’re free to – well, to do your job!

Even when it comes to local elections, which kind of politician would you rather have?

The 2017 poll results that show Labour’s antisemitism crusade is based on a lie

If you’re having trouble coping with the idea that Keir Starmer’s Labour Party – for all its posturing about opposing racism, opposing anti-Semitism – is in fact both anti-Semitic and racist, here’s some context.

Way back in 2017, just two years after Jeremy Corbyn was elected as leader of the Labour Party, the Tory-owned polling firm YouGov ran a survey on anti-Semitism in the main political parties.

The results will be surprising to anybody who believes Labour became more anti-Semitic under Mr Corbyn’s leadership: in fact, the reverse is the case.

The poll was commissioned by the Campaign Against Antisemitism, and This Writer’s experience of that organisation suggests that this was an attempt to find that Labour had become more anti-Semitic between 2015 (before Mr Corbyn was elected) and 2017.

But the graph shows that anti-Semitic attitudes among Labour members had not only fallen – they had fallen more sharply than in either the Conservative or Liberal Democrat parties:

Dorset Eye explains what the findings said to Mr Corbyn’s political opponents:

It meant a lot of work was required to tarnish the name of a long term human rights supporter and anti racist. This is when the establishment set to work.

That work involved attacking campaigners against racism and anti-Semitism as exactly the kind of people they opposed. It involved accusing Jewish people of being anti-Semites.

It involved vilifying Mr Corbyn and his supporters – including Diane Abbott; the woman who receives more racist hate mail than any other MP has now been accused of racism herself.

All on the basis of a lie – or at least, on a claim that could not be supported by the facts. Keir Starmer’s right-wingers in Labour have a lot to answer for.

It’s Keir Starmer hypocrisy time! Send in your own favourite clips!

Here’s another hypocrite moment: Starmer took the knee for Black Lives Matter but to him it meant nothing more than a photo opportunity. He attacked the organisation shortly after as a “moment”.

Seriously, send links. I know there are a lot of them out there!

For now, let’s have a look at this moment on Good Morning Britain when Keir Starmer was asked if Diane Abbott would be suspended from the Parliamentary Labour Party indefinitely, as Jeremy Corbyn was, if she is found to have been anti-Semitic – for “consistency”. Of course, Jeremy Corbyn has not been found to have been anti-Semitic, so it wouldn’t be consistent with anything.

In the same clip, Starmer refers to an “independent” disciplinary process. But he personally wrote the motion to exclude Jeremy Corbyn from being a candidate in general elections, and he has admitted that he personally intervened to have Diane Abbott suspended. So there’s no independence about the process at all:

Also unearthed on April 27:

Also:

So he wanted proportional representation to be brought in as a new electoral system a few years ago but, now that Labour might be able to win a big victory in a general election, he reckons the First Past The Post, largest-minority-vote takes-the-seat system is okay.

Please send links to more evidence of hypocrisy if you have it. Let’s keep this going!

Ken Loach wants Corbyn to seek election against Starmer’s Labour

Pointing the finger: Ken Loach has a low opinion of Keir Starmer.

Film director Ken Loach has called for Jeremy Corbyn to stand as an “Independent Labour” candidate for Parliament in the next general election, in an interview on the BBC’s Today programme.

He was cut off before making his final point, but he was able to point out that Mr Corbyn nearly won the 2017 general election on a manifesto with plans that have now been wiped off the political agenda by his successor, Keir Starmer – with the result that more than 200,000 people have left Starmer’s version of the Labour Party.

“Starmer has split the party when he promised unity,” Mr Loach said.

His comments echoed what he has also said on the social media:

Mr Loach’s opinion of Keir Starmer has been known for a long time. In January the Morning Star reported that he describes Starmer as a “tool of the Establishment” in the documentary Oh, Jeremy Corbyn – The Big Lie that Labour Party members are currently being banned from watching, up and down the country (a ban that they are ignoring, by and large):

Mr Loach says: “Every now and then, to show that we’re a democracy, there’s a change of government.

“The party changes, but it’s so important from the Establishment’s point of view that the alternative party won’t change anything — and that’s what Starmer is proving now.”

It’s a valid point.

And now people are jumping up to defend Starmer.

Given what Mr Loach has said about the Labour leader being a “tool of the Establishment”, you need to ask yourself: why?

Boris Johnson and Donald Trump DID discuss selling the NHS – as Jeremy Corbyn said

Buddies: Boris Johnson and Donald Trump really were discussing the sale of a privatised NHS to firms in the United States, it seems – while dishonestly accusing Jeremy Corbyn of lying when he exposed the plan.

Here’s a revelation…

… except it isn’t; some of us have known about it for years…

(In fact, let’s have a bit of video of the moment we were told…)

… but for those who refused to accept the evidence then, let’s go over it again quickly now (from the Byline Times article:

Boris Johnson privately discussed privatising the NHS with Donald Trump, according to a new biography of the former Prime Minister.

The claim… suggests that the former PM asked Trump not to publicly mention their discussions as they could create “mischief” if they were to become widely known.

However, he suggested that they could privately discuss it together.

“Some people in my party and other parties might make mischief if you talk about doing that, Donald,” Johnson told him. “Let’s talk about it all you like in private when you’re here, but we can keep it to ourselves.”

Claims of secret talks between the two countries about privatising the NHS were denied at the time.

Johnson’s Government faced allegations in 2019 of secretly planning to privatise the National Health Service as part of a post-Brexit trade deal with the US. At the time, then Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn published official documents suggesting UK officials had been in secret trade talks with US firms about the NHS.

The documents suggested that America was seeking “total market access” to the UK’s health service after Brexit.

Johnson’s Government dismissed the claims at the time, insisting the NHS would always remain “off the table” in talks with the US.

So there you have it.

Jeremy Corbyn was right about plans to privatise the NHS and sell it off to the United States, and Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, and the rest of the Tories were themselves lying when they called him a liar for mentioning it.

Or so the evidence states. I’d like to see any hard facts from Johnson, Truss, or indeed anyone else that can refute it.

The TV firms are STILL lying to you about Jeremy Corbyn

Jeremy Corbyn: mass media like the BBC and ITV present you with a distorted impression of him – like a blurred mirror (left), rather than an accurate account of the man and his politics.

Take a look at these two tweets and the video clips they highlight – and attack:

Yes, the BBC allows lies to go unchallenged once again – after having apologised for them only a matter of weeks previously.

Why? Well…

Is Tom London right?

We can use next week’s election results to judge.

BBC ‘corrects’ Newsnight anti-Semitism lies against Jeremy Corbyn

How the BBC treats Jeremy Corbyn: remember the Newsnight backdrop making him look like a Soviet-style Communist?

Why is the BBC only ‘correcting’ its lie about Jeremy Corbyn on Newsnight? What about all the other occasions the same falsehood has been repeated on its programmes?

The corporation has issued a statement on its “corrections and clarifications” web page, as illustrated in the tweet below that juxtaposes the offence with the explanation:

The correction, dated April 13, 2023, reads:

“BBC Two, 28 March 2023

“In an item about Labour’s National Executive Committee voting to stop former leader Jeremy Corbyn running as a candidate in the next general election, we referenced the row over antisemitism in the party and Mr Corbyn’s “refusal to offer up any kind of apology for that”. We also questioned whether he would refuse to apologise “as he has all the way up to now” if antisemitism came up in an election campaign.

“To be clear, Mr Corbyn apologised for antisemitism in Labour on a number of occasions as Party Leader, including ahead of a meeting with Jewish community leaders in April 2018. In 2020, after the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) investigated antisemitism in the party and found unlawful harassment and discrimination, Labour suspended Mr Corbyn after he said he did not accept all the EHRC findings and said the scale of antisemitism had been ‘dramatically overstated’.”

But isn’t even the correction misleading?

But what about the falsehoods in other BBC programmes, such as Politics Live?

Consider the utterances of Rafael Behr and Jenny Chapman on February 20 this year, here:

Or those of Siobahn McDonagh and Sebastian Payne on March 27 this year, here:

The BBC may well try to duck out of responsibility by saying these were the words of guests on its programmes – but of course those words were not corrected by any BBC representative, despite the corporation’s duty to report the facts.

Jenny Chapman referred to “integrity and credibility”. By failing to correct all instances in which falsehoods about Mr Corbyn were uttered on its programmes, the BBC trashes its own reputation for either.
