Starmer has just lost control of ANOTHER Labour Council!

Still the Labour Party crumbles under Starmer, losing control of ANOTHER council as ANOTHER 4 Labour Councillors resign.
Right, so the Labour Party at local level at least is continuing to crumble faster than an overdunked rich tea biscuit as straight after losing two seats on Newham Borough Council last week courtesy of a by-election pasting by the now official opposition Newham Independent Group and a defection from Labour to said group, last night news broke of Labour losing control, majority control at any rate, of Norwich City Council, as no fewer than 4 Councillors dramatically quit, as well as a Norfolk County Councillor, now sitting as independents. Today another Norfolk County Councillor has quit, bringing the total to 6, so will there be more? We’ll have to wait and see.
What’s triggered it this time though? Well, to likely no surprise to regular watches of this channel, the answer ultimately goes back to Keir Starmer, but actually on this occasion it might not, at least entirely, be down to the brylcreemed one’s position on ceasefires and his attitudes towards Israel and Gaza…
Right, so another council collapsing out of Labour’s control then is it Damo? Well, certainly less under their control than it was before, as now 5 Norwich City Councillors and 1 Norfolk County Councillor have quit the Labour Party in one fell swoop, leaving Labour running a minority control council as things stand as I write this. Labour are down to 19 Councillors, leaving them now 2 short of a majority, versus 13 Green Councillors, 3 Lib Dems and now 4 Independents. Labour could struggle to get key votes passed now.
This is the third council in as many weeks that Labour have lost control of, following Oxford City Council, where they retain minority control as they do here, but they lost control of Burnley Borough Council completely, with 9 councillors and 11 councillors respectively having resigned.
So why have they gone? The circumstances of the original 4 City Councillors, one of whom was a former parliamentary candidate, resigning apparently arises from a Full Council meeting, the biggest meeting of the month, the monthly which all councillors attend, where the four resigned after apparently the public were removed, this is usually because confidential matters require discussion and typically happens at the end of the session, but it is alleged the police had to be called too and I’ve heard no detail as to why that would have been, but the crux of the matter is that apparently they acted following the Council refusing to answer a question brought by the Green Party group on the council, calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. That is one reason I have seen being passed around for the resignations, however it isn’t the only one and certainly isn’t the narrative shock horror, the BBC have picked up on. BBC East, so the local Beeb, are reporting it is actually more of that good old fashioned Starmer faction interference in selection processes that triggered this, having spoken to at least one of the resigning councillors. The claim is that as we have seen in so many places up and down the country, Starmer only wants people selected to stand for parliament, that he has already had a say in.Show more

Hi, I'm Damien Willey. I'm a former welder, but now I'm a writer, blogger, vlogger and presenter and interviewer with Socialist Telly (Please do go and visit what we all get up to on https://www.youtube.com/c/SocialistTelly)
I'm an unpaid carer for my disabled wife and daughter and as such we know all too well the difficulties that associated with that living in Tory Britain and I personally believe the answer lies in socialism.
