The election for general secretary of UNISON, Britain’s biggest trade union, pits a faithful ally of Keir Starmer against a left-wing challenger who was expelled from the Labour Party by his factional minions. It could be Starmer’s next big headache.
With its ineffectual adherence to neoliberalism and meaningless claim of delivering ‘Change’, Keir Starmer’s Government may well be the penultimate ‘democratically elected’ Government in Britain.
Def possible. But given starmers use of anti terrorism laws to silence opposition.
I’d not be so confidence of one more democratic election.
I can Def imagine a near future where the US shuts down elections over questionable world emergency.
And the current government declaring a WW2 like ending of elections alongside them.
Honestly why wouldn’t they?
He’s behaving like a centrist Tory, which is categorically not what a Labour leader should be
