KEIR Starmer's determination to 'steamroll over Scottish democracy' must be resisted by Labour members, governing voices in the party…
Writing in the Scottish Left Review, Lauren Harper, a member of Labour's Scottish Executive Committee , questioned what the"point" of the party is under Starmer - and urged members to speak out against the leadership's approach to an array of policy issues.
Harper, a representative for Young Labour on the SEC, called on members to stand together to push for a change in direction from Starmer. In the same magazine, the SEC's second Young Labour representative, Coll McCail, said Starmer’s policies mean that any victory will rest on the votes of a “disengaged, unenthused public”, and called on members to challenge Labour’s offer of “better-managed decline”.Meanwhile, two Labour veterans suggested that Starmer’s ditching of “popular, radical policies agreed year-after year at conferences” has left members unenthusiastic about campaigning in the forthcoming General Election.
Thomson and Smellie continued: “On constitutional reform and decentralisation of decision-making from Westminster, it needs to offer more than promises of reviews. Currently Labour is offering no change in the constitutional relationship between the UK and Scotland. This is a gift to the SNP.” The former constitution secretary continued:"There is broad agreement in Scotland about the fair, equal and supportive society we want to see but Labour’s own activists now freely admit that their own party doesn’t intend to deliver it.field and doubling down on the cruel two child cap that is plunging families across the UK into poverty, it's clear that Sir Keir Starmer is offering more of the same failed policies that have already done so much damage.
