ALL debate has been “stifled” in Labour which now has “no diversity of opinion”, a councillor who quit the party has said ...
Speaking exclusively to The National, he said after joining Labour as a passionate trade unionist under the leadership of Ed Miliband in 2014, he now believes external pressure must be applied to the party “to remind it what it’s meant to do”.
“But I’ve made my decision because I’m waiting for someone else to do something from the outside and it’s not happening so I see it as a responsibility on me. I can’t wait around.” “ demonstrates complete economic naivety. We’ve got an ageing population and declining birth rate and we’re going to need people working to look after people when they get older.”Amid mass resignations of councillors from Labour, new polling by Labour Together suggested earlier this month that four in five members back Starmer and believe he will win a majority.
Halsall added he found the party’s attitude to the situation in Gaza and their unwillingness to call for a ban on arms sales to Israel as “horrific”.“You’ve got the International Court of Justice talking about plausible genocide and yet we still back selling arms to Israel. It’s insane.
