600 councillors sign declaration of ‘full solidarity and support’ for striking workers

Solidarity and collective action terrify the Establishment

Six hundred Labour councillors have signed a declaration of ‘full solidarity and support’ for rail and other workers, in a strong rebuke of party leader Keir Starmer’s cowardly refusal to back workers in their fight against exploitation and cuts:

Millions of people in Britain today are struggling to make ends meet, worrying about day-to-day living. Yet, as we have more billionaires than ever, and the profits and dividend payouts of Britain’s biggest companies soar, the mass of ordinary working people have been told to endure precarity and insecurity. This obscene situation, we are told, is the natural order of things and that we must simply accept it for the good of the nation.

The recent activities of the RMT and other trade unions are a welcome, important rejection of this dismal absurdity. Their heroism offers to the public the very real hope of ordinary working people coming together to take control and exercise some semblance of power over their own lives.

Naturally, a tsunami of lies has been deployed to keep workers in their place, including that of stagnating wages fuelling inflation rather than soaring profits. But, as Mick Lynch and Eddie Dempsey from the RMT have so neatly captured, what Britain is suffering from is not so much a cost-of-living crisis as a low-wage crisis.

We are proud to witness this emerging renaissance of trade unionism, and we offer to the RMT, the CWU, Unite and many other trade unions taking action our full solidarity and support, on the picket line and elsewhere. More importantly, we urge all ordinary working people to take control of their destinies, and to join a trade union today.

  1. 16 from Leeds. A certain poster here would say that the entire 600 of them are ‘engineering’ their own sacking. Bring it on!

    See what happens when we give power to a psychotic sociopath like Starmer? Imagine if he ever got to Downing Street.

    The fact that the synchronised-MSM is 100% in his corner tells me that this is all a WEF/Trilateral Commission scheme and that, as with the scamdemic health ’emergency’, we are being lied to, played and swindled.

    1. When six hundred councillors very publicly show revolt against the regime then its a crucial moment in time for the labour party.much like the Berlin wall coming down.Will a compliant membership who have bankrolled this knight of the realm and his appalling regime suddenly sprout cajones…..unlikely methinks and its basically a sign that the deck chairs have been moved around and the orchestra keeps playing the same old tunes as the ship sinks.into oblivion..hopefully.

      1. Reply to Joseph O Keefe
        The 600 councillors are members of the Labour party too. People have an absolute right to decide whether to stay in the party or resign. If they decide to stay – like these councillors – they should not be mocked or criticised for doing so.

      2. True enough Joseph. Well done Skwawky, a roll call of honour. This will please some of my depressed neighbours who remain party members. They have had many bitter moments, perhaps this will reinvigorate them. I may have left the hovel but I don’t hate the inhabitants, including our Caribbean correspondent., I still love em. However,….

  2. The Councillors talk about more billionaires than ever. That’s right but we also have more multimillionaires than ever before – Keir Starmer is one of them.
    It is unrealistic therefore to expect this ultra wealthy man to show any solidarity with or support for workers forced to take strike action because they can’t live on the wages they are paid due to rocketing price increases and inflation.

    1. Smartboy – how is Starmer a millionaire ?

      I hope that his pension pot is not counted
      in the calculation – because that was also
      used against Corbyn!

      1. Reply to Holby
        I saw the figure of 7 million somewhere on the internet. I couldn’t remember where so I tried to check it out before replying to you. l I found a Daily Express article ( I don’t read the Express so I don’t know where I first saw the figure)saying that Starmer was worth 7.7million.
        I know you can’t believe anything you read in the papers (particularly any Tory supporting paper like the Express) but given that Starmer is a member of the Trilateral commission ( a society for the advancement of policies which will benefit the mega rich. Membership is by invitation only) I expect the amount is, if anything, slightly under estimated.

    2. As an avowed materialist Smartboy, I take slight issue with the claim that it’s Starmer’s wealth that makes him an ineffective/bad Labour leader. Jeremy C. is also a multi-millionaire.

      Starmer’s problem is either -like austerity- a ‘political choice’ or a personality/mental health/ ethical/ psychological/educational issue.

      Economically, he’s hard-right (although Rachel Reeves probably thinks he’s dangerously left wing) and the question is, is this situation usual or normal for a labour member or supporter, OR is he an entryist possibly being paid or rewarded to destroy the political threat (to the powers-that-be) that a Corbyn-renovated Labour party could be .

      I know what I think. YMMV

      1. Ouch! A Materialist!? That hurts, Qwertboi!?
        I have no envy for another person’s money or belongings, I think that I have been on a path of minimalism both for my personal choice and circumstance for so long now, that I have entirely forgotten the times of plenty and my own material desires.
        They were never mainstream desires, but materialist no less. If we lived in a healthy nation, where there is no fear for tomorrow, it would be a natural thing for people to desire that what makes them feel good, a painting a collection of glass, a classic car in the doing up, etc.
        This is exactly why I like to speak of The PEOPLE and not classes/Pollster Categorisations, because it should not matter what one has and another doesn’t have. As long as the common goal is to improve the lives of The PEOPLE. tt should only matter that all pay tax and that the Government uses that money to provide value for money, an abundance of inclusive servicies of equally high standards Nationwide.
        I understand now why you struggle with my suggestion that one rate of tax accross the board is good enough, more than enough, as long as all the rich pay their full Percentage of tax the same. I wonder if you can understand why as a pauper I don’t want to see the rich taxed more than me, I never want to feel beholden to them, them seering down on ‘me’ at he ultra high standard school gate, because I only pay 20% of my pittance and they 45% of their fortunes. By all paying 20%/25%/35%/etc it doesn’t matter how your walk of life changes you can always hold your head up high! To me it just too much like making the poor doff their caps.
        So, I do appologise for judging your or anyone else’s Materialism, whether I like it or not it’s your bussiness, you earned it. I can only advise as I do and will that we all consider less want and more need. That is the only means to chance we have without any violent revolutions, by hitting their pockets.

      2. quertboi. Materialism is a futility for those who have seen wealth but gave it away because it means nothing to them
        they already have freedom and cut themselves off from the old life thats worthless.
        “Man does not live by bread alone”Great wealth is freedom from worry without being frightened of the future because theres nothing to fear..You don’t have to be religious to believe in redemption . ….but the incentive to live a happy life is a perception that divides us.
        And as long as true evil rules the world then redemption and peace are impossible….Lifes a jungle out there.

      3. That sums up the Tax Coffer purpose just nicely!
        If every bugger paid their full tax every Homeless will have a home, no child will be hungry, all children will be fed and educated to the highest degree and no parent will lay in bed worried about their children’s university fees, future prospects or even if they do fail at the walk of life, we would be a healthy wholsome society.
        The Tax Coffer is god Joseph, I’ve seen the light brother, I’ve seen the light :):):)

      4. nellykskelly, I’m a scientist, so, of course I am a materialist. I use the word ‘materialist’ in its proper sense, where, philosophically at least, it is contrasted with ‘idealist’.

        Without materialism, socialism cannot exist and is just a series of nutty ideas. Basic stuff.

        I suspect you know that, but this (excellent overview by Rob Hoveman) might help people who haven’t thought it through.

      5. Didn’t see your messages sorry, thank you I will have a read. No as I said it is not for me to judge and being autistic I should know better than to dis materialism.
        It felt like cutting off limbs getting rid of my ‘stuff’ but I managed and swung it the other way into minimalism verging on purism for so long that I forgot, I guess.
        No you have what you need and bloody enjoy it, you’ve worked for it.

      6. Reply to Qwertboi
        It is my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn’s house in London is very valuable. It is a very ordinary house which he bought many years ago but given London house prices it is now worth a lot of money and it is the equity in his home rather than paid directorships, the after dinner speech circuit ,expenses claims etc that make him wealthy.
        Regarding Starmer I think your comments about him being an entryist are correct. I have thought that for a long time.
