Honestly, it’s unprecedented but after how many more U-turns before Starmer packs it in or is kicked out? A new leader and there’ll be calls for a new election.
I didn’t vote for Labour but at least thought they could push through some meaningful reforms that could benefit the country. It’s a wasted government and it’s already ran out of steam.
Apparently, according to Labour-leaning ‘sources’ I follow on X, Starmer said the welfare bill was a matter of ‘confidence’ and the number of rebelling MPs supposedly grew.
In my view, Labour is in an identity crisis because what or who does the party actually stand for? Seriously, if Corbyn launches a new party it could be cataclysmic for Labour.
