 Labour conference rule changes could stop members debating certain issues — like economy wrecking Tory Brexit…

Anyone still seriously considering voting for Starmer’s Labour needs to ask themselves whether they are, in reality, just a closet Conservative.

Stop voting Labour, #VoteGreen💚 instead. If Scotland can break free under FPTP — so can England!

Consign Starmer and his rudderless Tory-lite party to wastebin of political history, where it belongs.

 This just formalises the right’s contempt for internal democracy within Labour. Starmer already ignores key policy decisions made by members:

“Last year’s conference overwhelmingly backed a motion calling for PR, an idea ignored by Keir Starmer.”

Question is why are so many still deluding themselves that Starmer is playing a brilliant game of 3D chess when the stark reality is he’s making Labour utterly indistinguishable from the Conservatives on any major policy issue?

Vote Labour get Tory
