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
