What have unions got to do with Starmer's Labour?

Doesn't matter. The Labour party should be concerned with a Supreme Court ruling, which sits apart from our normal democratic system, that prevents workers from forming a union.

This is a shame as the union could protect their members insisting they all issued with protective clothing , had lights on their bicycles and mopeds , insurance and are paid minimum wage which I hear is not always the case.

F All, Dunners does love to dump a Tory problem onto Labour watch.

Has Captain Hindsight come out and called for a ceasefire now that a ceasefire has been reached?

That would be the sensible thing to do.

To be fair, after Hamas have agreed to release 50 hostages equally over 4 days, he's probably sitting tight to make sure they don't dump 12.5 Israelis on the border before commenting.

This is what the country is really craving ...

Or is it really a delayed article meant for 1st of April?

Literally the Westminster bubble. Incredible.

Bit late, most have gone.

They've been replaced with fake harry potter shops now.

.

Labour Party has withdrawn support for their Rochdale candidate,in light of further information.

What was the further information? That their initial response wasn’t firm enough.

It was so obvious that Labour were going to have to drop him.

He’ll still appear as Labour on the ballot. Presumably he wins and then immediately has the whip withdrawn pending an investigation that won’t ever conclude and they’ll pick someone new for November

Would be wise for the crank left parties to start having words with him about defecting post getting elected

You dont share the candidates opinions then?

Assume it'll be in today's Mail since they were the ones who apparently found it. Although LAS saying it's nothing any worse than what was already said. Pretty to see them turning on Starmer at the first opportunity.

Could be an interesting (or bin-fire, whichever way you want to describe it) by-election what with a disgraced Labour candidate, Galloway and former Labour sex pest Simon Danzcuk also in the mix for Lawrence Fox's crank right wing party.

Tough choice for the people of Rochdale!

I’d be backing Ravin Rodent Subortna if I was in their shoes

Do the people in Rochdale even vote?

I thought people in Rochdale might turn to the Liberals- Then I remembered that Cyril Smith was Rochdale's Liberal MP. I am now expecting a very low turnout of voters. Rochdale' s electorial options look about as grim as those in the USA.

Labour should have gone with a safe candidate who could connect with the local constituents without relying on anti-Semitic tropes and conspiracy theories. Like Suzy Izzard.

As of last night, Galloway is bookies favourite @ 8/15
