LABOUR MEMBERS HAVE VOTED AGAINST KEIR STARMER’S WINTER FUEL CUTS – The Unions team up to defeat the Labour Leadership
Labour members have voted against Sir Keir Starmer’s winter fuel cuts as the party’s annual conference ended in embarrassment for the Prime Minister.
The Communication Workers Union (CWU) teamed up with Unite to push a motion in Liverpool opposing the removal of the payments from 10 million retirees.
Unions were left infuriated after Sir Keir’s allies rescheduled the vote from Monday.
The motion was carried based on the rules of the party and it comes as a blow to the Prime Minister, who headed straight to New York after his conference speech so was not there for the ballot.
A Conservative Party source said: “Starmer has lost support of the Labour Party, his MPs and paymasters.”
Starmer announced that the country’s national power company, GB Energy will be headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland’s third-largest city.
He also called for restraint and de-escalation on the border between Lebanon and Israel during the conference.
