It seems to me that the only consistent feature of the Labour Party is its ability to smear.
Brilliant contribution from JOE UK. Last week, Labour were spinning a story about their candidate being threatened, which was especially potent given the fate of the candidate’s sister.
JOE UK were there at the time and have video footage that completely dismantles the claims made by Labour. Instead of unprovoked aggression, what you’ve got is a candidate that dodges hustings, won’t do interviews, won’t answer questions and calls persistent questioners shouting men in a bid to not answer their questions.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Will Labour stand up to the unions and bite the hand that feeds it, or roll over and accept that the unions call the shots
Surely if Unite is in dispute with the Labour party and go on strike why would they then fund the party they are in dispute with on the other hand if they dont fund them the Labour party will have to make more redundancies
Well they can’t rely on the membership subs. The party is in deep financial trouble but if Paul Coyne is elected as Unite General Secretary it won’t matter.
It’s exactly what I’d expect from starmer. An utterly meaningless platitude, devoid of wit, humour or relevance, designed to disguise the fact that he’s a shit blair wannabe.
And he clearly cannot have even noticed the “wtf” incongruity. He’s a fucking wanker.
It’s just occurred to me that the only comparable slip involved Mary Whitehouse’s proposed Clean Up National Television campaign, and even those twats finally spotted the flaw in the initials. So it’s official; Starmer and his team are even less competent than Mary fucking Whitehouse.
I’m sure she’s have been very proud of all these fascinating history discussions that appeared in a programme bearing her name. One can be left with no other impression that historical matters were robustly scrutinised.
I think we’ve referred to the Unite elections before, but they’ve happened. Unite gives the Labour Party a lot of wonga, so the election of the General Secretary, the post previous held my Len McClusky, is pretty important.
Billed as a two horse race, the key candidates were supposedly Gerard Coyne (thanks @Goatboy) in the right corner and Steve Turner in the left.
The latter probably looks the bigger dick now, as he attempted to get the third candidate, Sharon Graham, out of the race altogether.
As it turned out, Ms Graham ended up becoming the new General Secretary. It seems as if Unite members were fucked off with all the factionalism and flocked to the candidate standing outside of it.
