AFTER the decision by the Labour Party leadership to blindly follow the Conservatives in its disastrous handling of Covid-19, its failure to consult with safety representatives on the disastrous decision to reduce the two-meter to one-metre plus social distancing measures, left our members feeling angry and betrayed.
Our executive received demands to withdraw funding from the Labour Party, due to it failing to put those who had worked through this pandemic at the forefront of any decision to weaken safety requirements, as it joined with the Tories to focus on reopening the economy rather than to preserve and protect lives, which our members believe should have been the priority.
Our members and activists showed it was perfectly possible to put in place measures that would have saved lives, but the decision by both the Conservative and Labour front benches meant no discussions were held with any labour movement organisations such as the TUC, with both parties gambling with our lives for good media and soundbite politics.
