Credit where credit is due, Sir Kier has rid the party of its antisemites (at least as much as possible) and has told COB he cant stand as a labour MP.
But, will this unleash the wroth of Momentum and other far left factions against him?
but kier’s faction has already won… they’ve not only kicked out loads of left-wing labourites they have also made it very difficult for the members to ever elect another one… jeremy corbyn has had the whip withdrawn and is no threat at all to starmer…
i agree it is PR and not very sensible PR… they seem convinced this will impress tories but it won’t.
Who are his 'faction' … really? For years he gave his full support to Corbyn. He's making what he thinks are the right noises. Nothing more. I wouldn't trust him an inch.
i would say his faction are centrists who want to drive out the party's left because they think it will win them more votes... he actually ran for leader on a fairly left-wing platform and is now purging many of his former supporters :/
