"Labour Kate Green too was forced to apologise after saying that the "Covid-19 pandemic could be a "good crisis" for her party". " At least she apologised though. I don’t think any party has the monopoly on being tone death. It’s very interesting to see which direction Kier is going. | |||

"Labour Kate Green too was forced to apologise after saying that the "Covid-19 pandemic could be a "good crisis" for her party". " Wasn't it a labour spin doctor that said 9/11 'was a good day to bury bad news'. Good to see they've learnt their lessons. | |||

"There's going to be a civil war in the Labour Party. Just a case of when. " Yup. I forecast that earlier in the year too. I don't think that they can come together quick enough for the next GE either. | |||

"Being a union rep is hard left now apparently He is reported widely as being hard-left !! Define widely reported?" I can find at least 4 references in party press and national press similar too . . . "Unite, Britain’s most powerful union, is expected to fire the starting gun on the race to succeed Len McCluskey as general secretary within days. His closest lieutenant Howard Beckett, who is assistant general secretary, has announced he will stand to replace ‘Red Len’. The hard-Left candidate is a vociferous proponent of imposing a wealth tax and railed against the stamp duty cut for benefiting people buying second homes." You could find them too if you bothered to look. | |||

""Nominations open tomorrow in the race to succeed Len McCluskey as Unite general secretary. Howard Beckett is standing on a fighting programme, both industrially and politically. It is vital that the trade union movement has a militant leadership." Their own union press." My eyes are failing me..no where on that do I see the words..hard left. | |||

"I’m pretty sure we can safely say Mr Beckett is of the left wing persuasion that sits a bit more left. Just been down the Guardian rabbit hole on Unions. They seem to be permanently upset all the time. Must be a horrible to be in a position where nothing goes your way politically. " Yes. But think about it! They have a blank-canvass from which to work from, if only they could all sit in the same room - like a party conference - and agree a common-cause like 'how to run a country'. | |||
