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.

The Labour MP who has been sacked broke a un-written rule he's done more harm than good.

@senghenydd Tarry knew he was going against what Starmer said. The problem though is that Starmer's rule was wrong

@Burnley123 What is a train driver's salary in the UK?
The amount train drivers earn depends on the company they work for and their experience.
ONS figures showed that for 2021, the median average salary for train and tram drivers was £59,189.
The pay scale can range from around £24,000 for a starter to £65,000 for experienced drivers.
Drivers work an average of 35 to 40 hours a week, including weekend and evening shifts.
Benefits include free or cut-price travel.
Train Drivers earn a fairly good living starting at £24,000 per year now if I was an MP I would support them but stay away from a picket line as I would know full well I would face being hauled over the coals by my Labour Colleagues, we now have a situation where there could be a civil war inside the Labour party which won't do the movement any good in the long run.
Labour lost the 1959 General Election when the polls predicted a Labour victory because of the in fighting in the Labour party between Nye Bevan and Hugh Gaitsell MPs should put their party first.

@senghenydd Labour also lost 2017 and 2019 due to internal sabotage. See the Forde Report.
I want all workers to be in unions fighting for better pay deals, especially with corporate profits so high and wages so low. Starmer's strategy is to do nothing and win by default

@Burnley123 The Labour Party has lost ground in the last ten years many Labour seats lost in Scotland due to the rise in the SNP and in the North of England the "Red Wall" is crumbling.
Labour has to win seats if they wish to form a government, I hate to see battles inside the Labour Party I know full well the consequences it results in a lost election, politicians feel deeply for the people they represent it's a double edged sword on times.
I looked up an article on the Forde Report from the Guardian they provided an interesting report you are quite right the in fighting didn't help at all, I always felt Jeremy Corbyn was a good Labour Leader however he lost a General Election by a eighty seat majority by a landslide as a result the Labour Party lost a very good leader.
What's happening in Ukraine is influencing our inflation I honestly believe it will rocket in the next year with raising fuel and food costs, there will be more workers striking for better pay, who ever will be our next Prime Minister will be in for a difficult time.

@senghenydd I don't think that Starmer's answer is the right one. I am an active party member and will vote and canvass for labour despite him doing everything possible against people like me.
As a strategy, I'm not sure it even works in its own terms. Poling has not be great , in spite of very favourable circumstances. There are no policies or narrative. I never expected him to be like Corbyn but I expect something.
The only political battles he fights is to punch down on the left. Whether it be expelling Corbyn and undermining trade unions. This doesn't help electability.

@Burnley123 It's always tough at the top the only route is down one party leader has just been toppled a Boris Johnson what a surprise it happens Sam Tarry is linked to Angela Rayner Deputy Labour Leader this could be a way of getting rid of Keir Starmer, Sam's action could of been deliberate I put the Labour party first MPs come and go rocking the boat loses elections.
Sam Tarry has been sacked there is a question being asked is Keir Starmer the right Leader for the Labour Party maybe he isn't, time will tell, I do know Sam Tarry now faces his constituency party shortly and could well be de-selected from standing at the next election.
I'll leave this argument I feel we have reached a point where it would be pointless to go on you have your views and I have mine, Labour needs MPs who don't rock the boat if I was a member of Sam Tarry's constituency party I'd be voting for him to go.
