Demand The Real Thing

Over to Labour to demand the real thing.

A statutory ban on any company's paying any employee or contractor more than 10 times what it paid any other employee or contractor.

A statutory insistence on a binding vote of the shareholders before any increase in executive pay.

And a statutory requirement of German-style elected workers' representatives on Boards of Directors.

Let those proposals be brought to the floor of the House of Commons in this hung Parliament.

Laura Pidcock, over to you.

But not over to Jess Phillips, whose receipt of the Labour Whip makes me glad that I am no longer a member of the Labour Party, and proud that I never will be one again.

"British Pakistanis import wives for their disabled sons" has it all.

Imagine the reaction if Phillips's good friend Jacob Rees-Mogg, or any other Conservative MP, or anyone from UKIP, had said that.

  1. If Pidcock was an anti-racist as she makes out, she'd refuse to take the whip with Phillips.

    1. Laura and many other Labour MPs do need to answer that point, yes. Jess Phillips has gone too far this time. Hasn't she?
