Starmer drives MORE revolted Councillors off ahead of local elections!

Labour support at local levels continues to flounder as yet more councillors quit in disgust at the Starmer regime & it's Torylitism.
Right, so more Labour councillors have quit the party ahead of upcoming local elections, again to a familiar story, disgust at the party leadership, Starmer particularly especially over the matter of Gaza, with the party still resolutely backing Israel, despite the genocide they are actively engaged in, a party on course for such a large majority that they appear drunk on the prospect of certain victory come the General Election, but beneath all of that there is a lot more unrest. At local level, we’ve seen the other week 20 Labour Councillors all quit en masse in Lancashire and the latest resignations here are none too far away from there either, and although in this case we’re talking about a modest couple of councillors only, we’re in Merseyside here, supposedly Labour’s strongest heartland, yet one that has been abused significantly under Starmer at local and City level particularly when it comes to Liverpool. But we’re not in Liverpool, we’re in Sefton, two stellar socialist candidate can stomach being part of a party that represents them no more, one of whom ran to be a former parliamentary candidate at that, shows the underlying discontent that is supposedly the foundations of the Labour Party and should bring into question their ability to campaign and lead as more and more people desert them.
Right, so two Sefton Councillors have quit Labour and like the 20 in Lancashire that quit the other week, this is a council facing upcoming elections this year in May and I firmly believe they won’t be the last either. The resignation letters of Cllr Natasha Carlin and Cllr Sean Halsall are damning, I won’t repeat them in full but will cover the relevant parts where it comes to their reasons for leaving:
Carlin’s reads:
‘After much contemplation and over 8 years as a Labour activist, I have made the decision to leave the Labour Party. I no longer feel the Labour Party represents the morals and principles that I live by and I do not recognise the party as the one I joined in 2016…
I didn’t come into politics to support a political party that has promised to carry on the fiscal policies of the Tory Party. I didn’t join the Labour Party to see the continuation of welfare austerity. I don’t support the backtracking of renationalising important industries or the rollback of crucial green policies – ones that would have secured our planet for future generations. I didn’t join politics to see inaction over Palestine, or the lack of support for the racism Diane Abbott MP has faced consistently. I didn’t enter politics to support dehumanising policies directed towards refugees and asylum seekers – ones that have stoked hate and division in our communities.’
I’m sure a great many of us can relate to that strongly worded statement. Where have the morals and principles of the Labour Party gone? Bought and paid for, if you don’t like these morals and principles, I have others, that is the kind of attitude we’ve come to recognise from Starmer’s Labour.
