Keir Starmer Has Launched an Unprecedented Crackdown on Rebel MPs | Novara Media

As dissent mounts on Labour’s front and backbenches, Keir Starmer is fast-tracking disciplinary action against rebel MPs. Many see it as an attempt to cow the left. Rivkah Brown and Aaron Bastani report.

Bit of a mixed bag this. Probably dismissing RLB was the right thing to do, for example. But it is interesting that Novara's honeymoon period with Starmer is now over.

The problem with this is then you just get shouty shit. I mean, that's happened in the US. This is Trump.

it's not the same thing at all though cos trump got in on the back of MAGA, build wall lock her up drain the swamp, and the equivalent people in the UK have already voted for Brexit and BJ

What a time to be alive.

He's either a bastard or terrified of the right wing press.

peel his face off.

Blimey. I guess he has got balls after all.

 

[john eden]

Looks like he has appointed a deputy who has been accused of anti-semitism though.

 

[john eden]

Poor judgment. When will he suspend himself.

Signal to the bosses that he can be trusted with a managerial position. A show of loyalty to the fat controllers.

She has the brains not to make a press statement denying everything though. Part of the report states that denialism is part of the problem. He was asking for it with the statement he made earlier - though I'm genuinely surprised. Shades of Kinnock, 1985.

Yeah, the shadowy bosses in the backroom. Clouds of cigar smoke, dim lights .... and no doubt, big noses.

I thought you blocked me and I could make that intervention without ruffling feathers

 

[luka]

But yes, partly the Israel lobby of course, but more importantly Israel as a crucial node in a larger structure of power.

 

[luka]

A structure of power the UK is also an important component of and is expected to withold, rightly or wrongly

 

[DannyL]

I can't block you apparently due to your staff status. More's the pity if you're going to keep coming out with drivel like the post that follows.

 

[...]

It's the Zionists pulling the strings with their fake anti-semitism plot.

 

[luka]

It's the same thing you said in the lead up to the election. A lot of your doubts regarding Corbin were due to his unwillingness to support that power structure and fulfil our national obligations to it, eg to keep running the nuclear submarines

 

[luka]

Your view was that the UK owes its allegiance to that larger structure and also it's wealth and security. This is not a controversial or outlandish view.

 

[luka]

It makes very good sense.
