Sir K has upset the masses....
Sharon Graham, leader of Unite the Union, which has more than a million members, said Labour was "becoming more and more irrelevant to ordinary working people".
The TSSA Transport Union, of which Mr Tarry is a former member, said Labour was "deluded" if it thought it could win the next election "while pushing away 7 million trade union members".

I think this might be termed as 'an own goal' in the football parlance.
Meanwhile Labour sack one of their junior transport ministers….for in his words ‘‘joining a picket line’’…..things ain’t what they used to be
In a statement Labour said it would "always stand up for working people fighting for better pay, terms and conditions at work".
"This isn't about appearing on a picket line. Members of the front bench sign up to collective responsibility. That includes media appearances being approved and speaking to agreed frontbench positions.
"As a government in waiting, any breach of collective responsibility is taken extremely seriously and for these reasons Sam Tarry has been removed from the frontbench."
Responding to his dismissal, Mr Tarry - a supporter of the former leader Jeremy Corbyn - thanked Sir Keir for "the last two and a half years" on the front bench, but said it was "a real shame" he had been removed for "joining a picket line".
Even though the leadership had already qualified it was for going against the agreed front bench position.
Good to see a real leader carrying out his convictions instead of porking and partying through lockdown or desperately clinging on to the ERG having once been a Lib Dem.

I have spent the last 20 minutes searching for evidence that Mick Lynch is a labour party supporter. I can find no evidence. He is in record as an admirer of Arthur Scargill, and Jeremy Corbyn. Lots of people who are not members of the labour party backed Corbyn. I can't find one claim that Lynch is even a member of the labour party.
He is entitled to lead his union, but he has no say in how the country should be run, no matter how eagerly the Mail and the mad left (https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/06/26/pvlt-j26.html) use Lynch as a stick with which to beat labour. Apparently "Starmer has witch-hunted thousands of left-wing Labour members out of the party on spurious charges."
Christ. We have just lived through several years of an egregiously lying prime minister. Now that Labour have become a force again we have an egregiously lying media, frothing in an attempt to paint Starmer as the enemy of the dear humble striking worker. You couldn't make it up.

August 13th just announced- that’s ****ed the Toon game now����
It is somewhat amusing seeing the exact same posters who could never agree with Corbyn because he was too left wing, now berating Starmer for not being left wing enough.
I really can't imagine why, but I'm sure it will be for considered, thought out reasons and not simply the colour of the rosette
I prefer Liberal Metropolitan Elite.It will be great when Labour win the next election and then suffer an internal war between the luvvie leftie Londonite Corbynistas and the moderates.
