The following is from “Ten Years Hard Labour” by expelled ex-Labour MP Chris Williamson. Sir Keir also gave Labour’s unconditional backing to NATO, which is a bellicose, expansionist, militarist alliance that should have been disbanded following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. As part of his masturbatory, warmongering delirium, Sir Keir said that he believed Britain’s entering into NATO was on a par with the creation of the NHS. He went to extreme lengths to defend the group. When 11 members of the Socialist Campaign Group (SCG) signed a Stop the War Coalition statement on 18 February 2022 that was mildly critical of NATO in relation to its escalation of the Ukraine crisis, Sir Keir ordered them to remove their names. In another spineless retreat, the 11 cowards failed to stand by the principles that they claimed to uphold, and they tamely withdrew their signatures. A party spokesman said: “With Sir Keir’s leadership there will never be any confusion about whose side Labour is on — Britain, NATO, freedom and democracy — and every Labour MP now understands that.” The MPs who backed down were Diane Abbot, Tahir Ali, Aspana Begum, Richard Burgon, Ian Lavery, John McDonnell, Ian Mearns, Bell Ribeiro-Addy, Zarah Sultana, Mick Whitley and Beth Winter. Sir Keir’s cynical use of the Ukraine crisis as a political weapon to hammer left-wing members was unprecendented in Labour’s history. Never before, not even under Tony Blair, had Labour MPs been so publicly humiliated for promoting peace. So next time you’re in the polling booth, remember the above and what you’re voting for.
