Starmer has put forward proposals to scrap Labour’s one-member-one-vote approach to party leadership elections, where every party member’s vote had equal value, in favour of an electoral college, in which MPs would have greater say.
“We’ve lost over 100,000 members, some people say 150,000, that’s the army that goes out and fights the elections for us”.
‘Starmer has not been the unifying leader many had envisaged, nor has he continued to advocate for the ten pledges he put to the membership a mere eighteen months ago.’
‘Labour for a Green New Deal described the move as ‘anti-democratic’ which was designed to ‘silence members, making a mockery of any commitment to bold climate action’.
“This all makes me really uncomfortable. Ben Warner wants us to spend £110k of public money per month with the agency who were behind vote leave who have no mainstream polling experience.”
Labour and Starmer should look to Harold Wilson’s election victory in 1964 for answers.
‘I am standing on my record and nobody can touch that, they won’t even get close.’
‘It is hard not to trace the apparent desertion en masse of British Muslims from Labour to the party’s lethargic attitude to Muslims and their concerns since Starmer’s election victory. ‘
It’s a win of major significance not just for Kim Leadbeater but for the Labour Party nationally.
‘Of those surveyed, 35% of voters think Keir Starmer should quit as Labour leader, compared to 28% who think he should stay on.’
