    This might not be a bad thing. The crazies who usually vote conservative and drink up anti union rhetoric might be more tempted to lean towards Labour

      So much so it would not surprise if this was agreed between the two of them.

    Unite, Labour’s biggest trade union backer, has refused to endorse the party’s general election manifesto, saying it does not go far enough on protecting workers’ rights and jobs in the oil and gas industry.

    I thought we were going Green these days? Not supporting fossil fuel industries.

          I don’t remember Corbyn kicking people out of the party at will and foisting his loyalists into seats without consulting the Labour constituencies

          “Starmer Purge of Labour Left Risks Undermining UK Campaign”

          Is a Bloomberg headline.

          Bloomberg.

            How dare he focus on getting elected and allowing the national committee to investigate people for things like saying comments which could be classed as anti-Semitic or for behaving poorly towards staff members in the past?

              Who are you referencing in this comment? Because the people that come to mind for me are Faiza Shaheen, who was deselected for, from what I can tell, liking some tweets that were critical of Israel, and Luke Akehurst, who has been selected while actually being antisemetic (but pro Israel so it’s fine I guess)
