Starmer’s and the right’s war on Merseyside continues with by-election travesty
Keir Starmer’s war on Liverpool has seen Labour’s ‘leader’ write for the hated Murdoch S*n, expel leading members, force local parties into restricted meeting structures, appoint a ‘Liverpool officer’ who quit the party to campaign for opponents in the 2019 general election – and seize control of candidate selection processes.
And the war continues – Skwawkbox understands that in the Fazakerley by-election in the north-east of the city, party members are being offered a choice of just two potential candidates – both right-wingers.
One of the pair Helen Stephens, quit the party in anger recently after failing to win selection for the recent Warbreck by-election in north Liverpool, but has somehow ‘mysteriously’ reappeared as a member, according to locals. The other, Brenda McGrath, is a right-winger from West Derby.
Contempt for Starmer has seen an accelerating exodus of members on both sides of the Mersey, while a group of independent former Labour councillors is now one of the largest opposition groups on the council after a rebellion over Starmer-approved cuts to the city’s budget for its most vulnerable residents.
