I have said on many other threads that despite my disgust at Starmer and my opposition to the way the Labour Party is going, I will vote Labour again. Partly to get the Tories out and partly because my local MP is one of the better ones. But mainly because I have always thought that as long as Labour has its roots (organisational and financial) in the trades union movement, it can be kept honest. Those roots are weakening, but they are still there.
I will vote Labour, but I don't have to like it - and I no longer campaign, canvass or pay subs to that party.
