Starmer vid supporting unions slammed & makes Corbyn statement

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has come under fire for a video supporting unions he shared this week.

It comes as he has also confirmed Jeremy Corbyn will not be a Labour candidate at the next general election

Corbyn was suspended from being a Labour MP and sits as an independent.

Good day to…Rishi Sunak FINALLY releases tax return – but is it real deal?

Do these barnstorming tweets about govt chime with you?

Brexit: Sunak wins vote but still not out of woods as UKIP tweet is epic

The former Labour leader hoped to be readmitted, to the party, so he could stand for re-election as a Labour candidate.

But Starmer said the party had changed under his leadership and “we are not going back.”

Momentum said: “It should be for Labour members in Islington North to decide their candidate – that is their democratic right.

NEW:

Keir Starmer: “Jeremy Corbyn will not stand for Labour at the next general election…”

So categorical. Former leader's path to being re-elected as a Labour MP blocked.

Unions

He shared a video this week that has got some peoples’ backs up.

He shared the video and wrote: “During Heart Unions Week, we celebrate our trade unions and their achievements securing better rights for workers. The next Labour government will work with unions to deliver a new deal for working people.”

You've endlessly refused to back striking workers since becoming leader you duplicitous ghoul

What I find astonishing about Starmer is how he can throw a group of people under the bus one week then make a slick heart warming video about them the next week and expect no one to notice.
He does it over and over again.

Nobody believes you.

You don’t support unions. You’ve made that abundantly clear. At least do us the courtesy of not pretending to care about working people. Fair play to the Tories, at least they make their abject contempt of us obvious.

You back a poverty minimum wage of 10 quid an hour you utter liar…somehow even worse than the poverty 10.40 an hour by Tories.

15 quid an hour NOW…
