An utter disgrace.

This is *right up there* with all of the other horrendous betrayals Labour have enacted since July 2024. Members of affiliated unions should start pushing to end affiliation immediately - I certainly will be

George Eaton • @georgeeaton.bsky.social Verdict of one Labour grandee I just bumped into: "Ed Miliband is the person most likely to be the most next Prime Minister"
Just imagine the Krakatoa of enraged, flailing bullshit we would get, if it looked like Ed was going to thrash Streeting in a leadership election.

Kind of drives me insane that there isn't a journalist who has access to these people and says "yes, that's exactly what it means what are you on about?"
