The more I read about Labour's 'restructuring' today the more my jaw is dropping.
There has been NO consultation with staff and unions, no examination of alternative measures (reducing hours), no examination of changing office space.
This is not a party for 'labour' (1/3)
Labour, in the middle of a pandemic, is treating its own staff like dirt while saying they are better than the Tories on workers rights to public. The evidence is entirely clear that they aren't.
When you vote for right wingers this is what happens. (2/3)
I find it incredible that David Evans will be voted in as party's general secretary at conference. If this was any other workplace Labour would be calling those involved rogue bosses to national press.
There's a very real chance this is beginning of end for party (3/3).

This marked Labour turning into a ‘red UKIP’ lamented talented method actor and alt centrist Eddie Marsan. Is it different with Sir Keir, Eddie? I hope so.
You have a former member of the far right at Byline whose schtick was driving division. Byline proceeded to post a video this weekend calling someone a Galloway supporter, insinuating they were part of the campaign, without even going to Galloway for comment. Shame on you.
“Our mission will be successful the minute Keir Starmer has a leadership challenge”
What I found in Batley & Spen was a crumbling Labour vote, broad support for George Galloway & the beginning of organised efforts to stand candidates against Labour. novaramedia.com/2021/06/25/its…
The Galloway campaign has 3 campaign centres, (I’m told) 10 organisers and is better resourced than either Labour or the Tories. His election agent told me last week he thinks there are “no circumstances” under which Labour can retain the constituency.
The idea Galloway has pulled the wool over the eyes of constituents really doesn’t get the anger people have in being taken for granted. What I found was voters, of all colours & creeds, under no illusions about *any* politicians. novaramedia.com/2021/06/25/its…
In the name of ‘anti racism’ Cambridge University Labour club have expelled a BAME student from their executive for disagreeing with the IHRA definition of antisemitism.
Kenneth Stern, the definition’s lead author, wrote ‘it was never intended to be a campus hate speech code’.
Stuff like this is why I, and others, tried to make arguments against it. The IHRA, used as it now is, curtails criticism of Israel and its government.
The fact someone is expelled from an executive for even questioning something?
As members leave you suspect another centrist would replace Starmer as leader anyway. He deserves the chance to lead Labour into the next GE. But going on last 6 months it won’t be pretty....💀
