Starmer is showing that he goes against everything Labour is supposed to stand for, he needs to be replaced, a Tory is still a Tory, no matter what colour they wear

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has sacked his junior shadow transport minister who joined striking rail workers on a picket line.

Ilford South MP Sam Tarry attended the protest at London's Euston station despite Sir Keir saying his frontbench MPs should stay away.

Speaking to reporters, Mr Tarry said "any Labour MP" would have "absolute solidarity with striking workers".

Labour said he had been fired for making unauthorised media appearances.

Yes Liam

He should have said, do not do it again.

Starmer is in the wrong

Starmer is WRONG on this.

He's another who just doesn't listen.
This is so wrong.

Surely Starmer has to resign after this disgraceful occurrence on his watch ??


Boris was blamed for everything the Tories ever did wrong

this is only the first real strike too, there are going to be a lot more. I can see a major revolt happening in the labour party too because Starmer has dug himself a hole it's going to be hard to get out of

I totally agree with Sam.

Starmer is like New Labour
now

Thinking back at past leaders of Labour in the past 20 years, is Starmer the most clueless?

starmer has scored a lot of own goals during his time as leader, i can't remember another labour leader that was quite that bad

Whats the process for labour to boot him out?

Generally Labour sticks with its leaders no matter how bad they are.

Corbyn was an exception where from day one of his election there were growing numbers in movements to get him out.
Labour party members however much more solidly backed Corbyn.
Hence he got his chance to fight 2 elections.

Starmer won't be moved by Labour until after the next election which if he does badly will likely see him resign anyway.

No leader of Labour has not gone on to fight at least one general election.
Except John Smith, a potentially great Prime Minister who was cruelly taken from life before an election was held.

The other thing is, this action unfortunately won't much affect the support the Party now has and in fact COULD bring back other voters long lost since 2001.

For me this is wrong of Starmer.
He should not have stated he did not want Cabinet members to join picket lines.
He should have left it to those individuals to decide.

This action today has me as a member in dismay.
Then Starmer was never my choice of leader.
Totally wrong of him in my view

lol what a mess the trash party are

Sadly that does seem the road we are going on.
It may well bring electoral success but it's a concern to myself and a great number of members.

We haven't however inflicted 4 different Prime Minister's on the UK in only in the last 6 years from Cameron to whoever becomes PM now.
That chaos is hardly stabilising or competent.

I'd like to.hope Starmer will reflect on this decision.

There were you know a fair number of Labour members hoping Starmer may get fined after the investigation.
So that he'd resign.

For as long as he has the position over the Cons he has at present.
In the main from now, the vast majority of the Party will fall in line, many reluctantly, behind him.

It just shows the fickelness of labour politicians.

They have no real conviction if they back starmer whilst secretly thinking hes not the man to lead their party.


Have the balls to say it how it is, like their supporters do.

I'd say there is fickleness in ALL UK wide Parties.
The Cons on their NOW 3rd attempt in only 6 years are going to end up with a leader most don't really want.

After all their ballots, Sunak got a bit over a third ONLY of the MPs votes.
Truss got even LESS than a third.

Such sadly is the present state of politics in the UK.

It's not just one Party's MPs who can be and are fickle.

I wouldn't go so far as to call him a Tory, but sacking someone for supporting the unions isn't a good look for a Labour leader.

well done Keir

root out these nasty socialists

:clap1:

That's the main point..

He's likely no different to Blair really.
However I'd see going back to Blair's time as leader is disappointing for me.
Although it seems to be a winning formula.

I'll still support Labour because I want a better policymaking for the most vulnerable, sick and disabled.
Which will never come from the present Con heartless policymaking.

Politics is in a desperately bad place.

True ... Labour need money to fund their ideals and I’m not sure that there is any

Rachel Reeves was live on TV news
making up policy.
She was corrected, not sacked.

Labour claims that Sam was making up policy
Live on TV?

John McDonnell MP Labour
speaking Live on SkyNewsHD

That is what I understood, it wasn't his appearance on the picket line that got him sacked, it was what he said on TV, not sure what he said though

He was talking about how Labour would back workers.

Of Course,
Starmer is worried about the next election in a few years.


His Girlfriend is Angela Raynor
The Labour Deputy with no power.

BBC:
[Ilford South MP Sam Tarry attended the protest
at London's Euston station despite
Sir Keir telling his frontbench MPs to stay away.
Labour said the reason he was fired was for
unauthorised media appearances.

Mr Tarry said he had been standing
"in solidarity with striking workers"


"This isn't about appearing on a picket line.
Members of the front bench sign up
to collective responsibility.
That includes media appearances
being approved and speaking to agreed
frontbench positions.

"As a government in waiting, any breach
of collective responsibility is taken extremely
seriously and for these reasons Sam Tarry has
been removed from the front bench."

But the leaders of a number of unions have
criticised the party for the decision.

Sharon Graham, leader of Unite the Union,
which has more than a million members,
said Labour was "becoming more and more irrelevant
to ordinary working people".

The TSSA Transport Union, of which Mr Tarry
is a former member,
said Labour was "deluded" if it thought it could
win the next election "while pushing away
seven million trade union members".]

This is to be frank ridiculous and petty from Starmer.

I'd prefer to KNOW what MPs of ALL Parties think and for them to be able to say what they think and feel too.
This collective responsibility is what is partly wrong with politics and government.
People shouldn't be made into robots to suit a Party line.

Did ANYONE really know Truss was against the NI increase until recently.
She was sent out on TV and defended it as the only way to fund the NHS.

Yet she claims she was against it all along while unbelievably voting for it however.

It's plain deceitful to impose on people that they MUST not express their own views and feelings

Starmer is being equally so.
He's not saying what he feels.
He KNOWS these strikes are justified as do most of the Shadow Cabinet too.
Sam said what he thought and he should be able to.

Starmer however knows the strikes are justified and the workers need support.
Yet he fudges his own real views and expects everyone else to follow his ridiculous line.

This is to me what's wrong in politics in a big way.
How can we trust or why should we trust anyone who is NOT able to say what they think.
Starmer is wrong ,wrong ,wrong on this.

He should have perhaps said Sam wasn't wise to express his own feelings.
However NOT to sack him.
I'm totally dismayed with Starmer.
He has a pretty good team around him but this pathetic dictatorial attitude he's developing as to stifling individuals being able to express their views..
Or to go and support workers in disputes.
Is a shocking look for Labour.

If Starmer will act like this to a man supporting workers rights.
Then maybe Starmer needs to look at his own position.

Or maybe Starmer doesn't like people being free to express their views and prefers to be like Johnson, to only have, yes Sir, yes Sir, three bags full Sir, people around him.

Sam is owed a massive apology and Starmer needs to do a u turn on this sacking.
If he doesn't, that says nothing positive about Starmer.
Fudging the issues of these strikes as Starmer is doing is absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable

Starmer
is going to the Next Election
like a New Labour Prime Minister.

He thinks the Blair way
is the only way into 10 Downing Street.

i think he is right there, but he needs to bring his traditional voter base along with him too or it won't work

Yes its a split in Labour

That was played
on Ch5HD live debate
which had the Asleef union boss
in the studio.

This is Tarry's bid for leadership ..no?

he wants a return to a Corbyn type party which we know is a guaranteed failure. Politics is just so **** at the moment across the entire spectrum

He is my local MP and he is ****e
