Keir Starmer

A MAJORITY of members of food workers’ union BFAWU want it to disaffiliate from Keir Starmer-led Labour, a shock poll has revealed.
The findings, to be discussed by delegates at the union’s conference tomorrow, show a distinct turn away from the party under its current leadership, with just 7 per cent of members strongly believing that it still represents their aims and aspirations.
Prompted by calls from a number of branches to cut Labour funding, the poll reveals that only 53 per cent of BFAWU members voted Labour in the last general election and that 51 per cent felt that it no longer represented their interests.
Every Starmer boast about removing asylum-seekers probably wins Reform another seat while Labour loses more voters to Lib Dems, Greens and nationalists than to the far right — the disaster facing Labour is the leadership’s fault, writes DIANE ABBOTT MP
