Labour front bencher sacked by Keith for appearing on a picket line.

Are you Labour supporters seriously going to vote for this centrist, liberalist bloke masquerading as a Labour leader?

[MachoMadness]

Interesting to see heads rolling for this, and not the racism that the party is riddled with as outlined in the Forde report.

Don't vote Labour.

[albie]

So the silent knight sacks the transport minister for siding with transport workers on the picket....this is getting unreal now!

Enemy of the working class is Keith, opposing trade union activities in support of basic rights to defend against low wages in a cost of living crisis....embarrassing!

After Rachel "dull as dogshit" Reeves ruled out public ownership yesterday, the TUC put this on twitter;

Only going downhill for Keith and Rachel from here.
Get Mick Lynch or Eddie Dempsey in asap and let Keith join the Tories FFS.

Haven't seen any actual footage but reports suggest it was more for comments made in an interview at the event rather than the actual appearance?

Doesn't alter the fact that Keith's anti-Trade Union and anti-working class.

[tyke1962]

A new low when you thought it was impossible to sink any lower Keith finds a way .

The remarkable thing about this is that Keith has absolutely no idea he's on the wrong side of this and public opinion is with the RMT and the greater Trade Union movement .

Instead of feeding off this energy and using it to attack the government but Keith can't see it because he's from another planet called " out of touch , metropolitan and graduate class feck wit "

This is the real tragedy here , there's a huge opportunity to bring huge numbers of working class people behind the Labour Movement and the unity that offers and Keith can't even see it .

Yet another case of Starmer ignoring his traditional voters in pursuit of Daily Heil readers who are never going to vote for him. Madness.

He's completely spineless Wilts and the Labour Party need to get rid and get rid now .

There's a window of opportunity opened up for Labour , almost a perfect storm given the inadequacies of the Tories and the current events playing out and Keith could very well feck this up .

[drfchound]

Unbelievable that Starmer should go down that route.
Noticeable that certain posters are missing from this thread.
It will be interesting to read how they can put any positive spin on this for the Labour Party.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

This is his problem but I think he's being clever.  Labour types won't like it but they'll vote labour anyway, it's the rest he has to appeal to and this could help that.  Noteworthy he hasn't at all said what rise labour would propose because they know they couldn't stick to it financially if they got power.

Sydney'll be on soon, spouting wind and p*ss about us all supposedly being Tories, and not addressing the issues of this thread in any way shape or form.

The days when the Labour Party could take its historical vote for granted are long gone .

Labour types don't always vote Labour anyway. Look what happened in the North and North-East last time.

Keith needs to be careful.

Are you suggesting that because the current leader of the Labour Party has sacked someone who went on a picket line people will now vote instead for a party that wants to ban all strikes?

I am more and more convinced that PR is they way to go - then people can vote for someone who actually stands on their principles.

This idea of the Labour Party being a broad church and full of people with nothing whatsoever in common with one another should be shunted off back into the 20th century where it belongs. And we should have an electoral sytem fit for the 21st century where your representative represents you and your views (if there are enough of them with a similar mind).

I think a good number of people especially in currently active trade unions probably won't vote for anybody at all Wilts .

Totally agree .

[Sprotyrover]

The Labour Party would be a real threat if they got Mick Lynch on board, he is somebody who is really admired . Comes across as a world class Leader!

There's absolutely nothing going on in the Labour Party that could even entice Mick Lynch to become so much as a grass roots member never mind joining the hierarchy .

The RMT disconnected it's self from the Labour Party years ago .

Trade Unions don't actually need the Labour Party today , they are perfectly capable of representing their members effectively without them .

Nice story Albie and of course it fits your agenda.

Except that's not the reason he was sacked is it?

[Filo]

Hugely disappointed with this!

[BillyStubbsTears]

Filo
Read into the story. There's a lot more to it. He has NOT been sacked for joining a picket line, despite what some folk on here want to be the case.

[Ldr]

That’s right, he was sacked for speaking up for working people.

[normal rules]

"This isn't about appearing on a picket line. Members of the frontbench sign up to collective responsibility. That includes media appearances being approved and speaking to agreed frontbench positions.

But believe what you will.
And I’m not a Labour supporter.

Don't vote Labour.

Did the racists join the party when Starmer was elected MM?

This is where you have your head on backwards tyke, not that you do anything remotely political ( the tv remote maybe) you should going after Shatts for not stepping in and sorting the problem, this is the fight the tory government have been praying for, the wedge.
