Howard Beckett suspended by the Labour Party
Jump to: Newest in thread
Looks like Kier is doing his very best to keep driving that wedge between each side of the party. He’s showing the direction he wants to move in day by day.
Tone deaf tweet by Beckett though. What was he thinking. |

"Labour Kate Green too was forced to apologise after saying that the "Covid-19 pandemic could be a "good crisis" for her party".
 "
At least she apologised though.
I don’t think any party has the monopoly on being tone death.
It’s very interesting to see which direction Kier is going.

Wasn't it a labour spin doctor that said 9/11 'was a good day to bury bad news'. Good to see they've learnt their lessons. |

"There's going to be a civil war in the Labour Party. Just a case of when. "
Yup. I forecast that earlier in the year too. I don't think that they can come together quick enough for the next GE either. |

"He should have broken the ministerial code and he would have been fine.
You agree it was correct to suspend him ?"
Yep
Stupid thing to post.
Nice to see politicians punished so swiftly when they do something wrong. |

"Being a union rep is hard left now apparently
He is reported widely as being hard-left !!
Define widely reported?"
I can find at least 4 references in party press and national press similar too . . .
"Unite, Britain’s most powerful union, is expected to fire the starting gun on the race to succeed Len McCluskey as general secretary within days.
His closest lieutenant Howard Beckett, who is assistant general secretary, has announced he will stand to replace ‘Red Len’.
The hard-Left candidate is a vociferous proponent of imposing a wealth tax and railed against the stamp duty cut for benefiting people buying second homes."
You could find them too if you bothered to look. |

"Nominations open tomorrow in the race to succeed Len McCluskey as Unite general secretary. Howard Beckett is standing on a fighting programme, both industrially and politically. It is vital that the trade union movement has a militant leadership."
Their own union press. |

You seem to read the daily mail regularly and by what i see the only one who posts stuff from it on here, you really should get your info from other sources. |

Wrong: Nowhere near the Express. Shame it doesn't fit your disbelief but there you have it? Go find it, it's easy to locate.

"The rich paying a little bit more..communist nonsense
He's a multi-millionaire himself with a property portfolio, so he would know.
"
So he is proposing for people including himself to pay a little more tax?
Its almost stalinesque. |

It was communist a minute ago - just like a labourite, keep swapping your ideas, so nobody knows what to vote for. . |

I’m pretty sure we can safely say Mr Beckett is of the left wing persuasion that sits a bit more left.
Just been down the Guardian rabbit hole on Unions. They seem to be permanently upset all the time.
Must be a horrible to be in a position where nothing goes your way politically.

Yes. But think about it! They have a blank-canvass from which to work from, if only they could all sit in the same room - like a party conference - and agree a common-cause like 'how to run a country'. |

Seeing as this has clearly moved off topic.
What is so great to see about hundreds of people stopping the immigration service doing their jobs?
Why is wee Nic saying the governement created this in an area of a covid outbreak? Political point scoring perhaps?
Surely the government didn't tell everyone turn turn up and gather like they did?
I will say that I don't know the background to this story. |

I can't imagine the government asked those protestors to go into the street and gather as they did. Unless you can provide evidence to the contrary I think ill stick with my initial thoughts |

A mad or silly person
Loony is an informal, derogatory term for mentally ill, but it can also mean silly or outrageous.
Ambiguous? No place for the word amongst adults, school yard insults at best
