Quiet in here today.
Check the reasons why.
Tried that can't see anything. Any chance of expanding on that?Unsurprisingly a quick Google search would suggest that her stated reason is an insignificant part of the overall reason.
Plenty of stories about her criticising Starmer. Here’s one.Tried that can't see anything. Any chance of expanding on that?
So no whiff of scandal or problematic behaviour beyond mere factionalism. I doubt she is under any illusions that it was anything but that. So who is being disingenuous here, her for highlighting the pretext she was given or the Labour Party for going to ridiculous lengths to justify blocking 'problematic ' candidates?Plenty of stories about her criticising Starmer. Here’s one.

Seems her support is for the Corbynite part of the party.
Rightly or wrongly Starmer is marginalising that faction. Blaming on a Twitter like is disingenuous imo.
Can’t really argue with that. It's clearly a calculation by Starmer that marginalising Corbynites will gain more votes than it loses even if it goes against normal processes.So no whiff of scandal or problematic behaviour beyond mere factionalism.

If she’s against the main point of Labour getting the vote, then she’s against change.So no whiff of scandal or problematic behaviour beyond mere factionalism.

So normal processes don't matter to our future PM, as long as you get the right result? How reassuring ;)Can’t really argue with that. It's clearly a calculation by Starmer that marginalising Corbynites will gain more votes than it loses even if it goes against normal processes.
The unions are no longer relevant ........ what a lineIf she’s against the main point of Labour getting the vote, then she’s against change.
Very simply, the Unions no longer have the huge sway that they had, they are no longer relevant in this current society.
Things need to change. When people see Sunak as the best alternative then you know things are really wrong. An absolute **** in many books where even his own constituents worry about him.
It will be your choice. Vote for or vote against, you may have that final vote. However, beware of what you vote for, Bluemoon will always have a say ;-)
