Keir Starmer fires someone for supporting rail strikes.
It's called the Labour Party but you are not allowed to support the Labour movement. Just say boring things and nod because.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow The unions heavily fund the Labour Party.
Rail strikes are never popular with the public for obvious reasons but a lot of people support the strikes and find it understandable because of the cost of living crisis. The Labour right's political assumptions are based on being as right-wing as possible to win elections under any circumstances and do nothing when in power.
So far, it's only activist leftists like me who realise quite how craven Starmer is but more are starting to get it.

@Burnley123 Yeah, our NDP has it's right wing of the party who think the way to win is to become the Liberal Party with a different spelling. And the Liberals are just Tory light with vague progressive talking points and photo ops for the culture war.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Thomas Mulcair and that worked out well for him.
Though I'm of the left, I have scaled-down expectations for social democrats. If they are half-decent I will support them but Starmer is consistently and relentlessly shit. Starmer has all the bad points of Blair, just with no charisma or political skill.

@Burnley123 I think Tom Mulcair as nice as he is (met him) destroyed all the work Jack Layton accomplished.
