More stupidity and self-harm from Starmer.

Although if the end game is to break the organisational, financial and political link with the unions, reduce the membership to more of a passive rump (with no need for grass-roots activists because electioneering will be by national advertising campaigns) and to fund the party through corporate donors, billionaires and third party agencies (tied to 'friendly' governments), he is well on the way.

No doubt Peter Mandelson is beaming.
