Keir Starmer

Mein Keir, they might as well have voted against ​


Action will be taken against Labour MPs broke whip on winter fuel change, Sky News understands​

Action will be taken by those who broke the Labour whip by not backing the government's changes to the winter fuel payment, Sky News understands.
One MP - Jon Trickett - voted with the Conservative motion, while 12 additional members had unauthorised absences from the vote.
A Tory move to block the measure was defeated by 348 to 228 votes - a majority of 120 - on Tuesday night.
Labour has a working majority in the Commons of 167.
The division list showed Mr Trickett was the only rebel to support the Conservative motion, while no vote was recorded for 52 other Labour MPs.
This does not automatically equate to an abstention for each MP as they may have received permission to miss a vote.

There really aren't any Dennis Skinner types to rebel against this lot any more.

Yep. Looking at the 2 contentious votes (2 child cap and WFA) there appears to be around 40/50 who don't like what they are seeing.

A much smaller majority would in theory have given this group a fair degree of bargaining power. I say theory because the majority of them are spineless cunts and would have folded like a pack of cards anyway.
 
If you want to attack Starmer don't send someone who is so shit she would't be allowed to bat at number 11

Once they get into the Westminster 'club', and the heating is on, and there's merry chatter in one of the highly subsidised dining rooms The SC's aren't gonna jeopardise any of that for a flicker of conscience.

Photo is from 2017. Promises don't last longer than one term do they? You might expect politicians to stand by their principles (assuming that's what it was and not just a cynical pledge to win votes of old farts) 7 years down the line but that's nit how the party system works.

He was voted out in 2019 so promise expired at that point anyway.

Some would say he was just being opportunistic, as an aside I wonder if he and the genius Lammy paid for their own clothes?
