"all 6 or 7 million union members should mobilise and vote against Labour which would cause some serious damage"And return a Tory government.

Then let's have the Tories in power for the next generation.I used to know someone in the SWP who bragged of voting for Thatcher and agitating on the shop floor in the Winter of Discontent to humiliate the Labour Govt. His argument was that Labour made things better for the workers, and what was needed was for someone to make things harder for workers. Because if that didn't happen, the workers would never rise up and destroy Capitalism.Silly f**king Kitson.

BST is the SF Kitson, for not understanding that the reason many folk vote is for a change of policy from the government, not for a continuation of the same thing.We now have 3 parties, blue, red and orange, that all belong to funding sponsors and all offer slightly different versions of failed neo-liberal economic policies.All it means is that on key policy areas there will be a continuity of approach.This is what city investors want to see, so that they can plan their strategies without potential hiccups.Meanwhile, social priorities will remain second order considerations, which may get some sticking plasters, but not the structural reforms that will address the issues.That is what we have, and it is piss poor.
The electorate need to grow a backbone and demand change.It happened in France and Canada, it needs to happen here. We need shot of this disgraceful professional political class who have no ones interests at heart except for themselves first and foremost followed by their shadowy political masters.We need to somehow manage to persuade professional and technical specialists (none political) who can give some time to helping to set the country straight and give meaningful direction to a politicised civil service who need to be reigned in and made to do their jobs, not dictate what gets decided upon.
It’s pretty clear to read that the silly kitson he meant is the bloke in his story
Looks like Keith has pulled the proposed New Deal on Workers Rights.Here is the FT summary:https://www.ft.com/content/fe1608d1-3a61-43a0-9c17-2868c40821c2Sharon Graham from Unite reckons it is a goner!https://nitter.poast.org/UniteSharon/status/1788231614427799593#m
