Nandy's a pointless little placeholder. If you think she's moral, you obviously don't know what you're talking about
(like her).This is what happens when you have a majority on the NEC - there's no point not using it. It's grubby bowling club AGM stuff. You make sure you have the support, you put forward rule changes, you win votes. The problem for the left is that they weren't able to make enough rule changes when they had the majority. It's not particularly biased or factional to point this out.
In what sense was Ian Murray of the FBU the members' elected choice? The NEC (or those of them that didn't walk out) voted for Margaret Beckett.
As I understand it, the Leadership changed the way the NEC elections (just for those delegates elected by the membership) were run. When that didn't give them enough of an advantage, they sprung the reversal back to the old undemocratic way of electing the Chair, because it was clear that, as you acknowledged yourself earlier, a Chair that they did not want would otherwise be elected. Murray was the members' elected choice because it was him who would have been Chair under the rules that stood when the membership chose who to vote for.
How many members would have voted for Starmer if he hadn't made it his business to lie to them about his priorities and intentions? To mislead the membership in order to gain power, not to do good, not to stand against stuff like the Spy Cops bill. Power for its own sake. And, even worse, power to destroy those who would do good. This person has no regard for due process, natural justice, honesty, fairness or democracy. Anyone who backs him must be deluded or similar to him in outlook.
