@Dame_Ann_Average posted:Sir Abstainer blaming Corbyn for the Hartlepool loss before the votes are counted, JC held Hartlepool with an increased majority in 2017 by 16% plus and held on in 2019 even after the collapse of the red wall which was Starmers fault in the first place.
His today's effort it's totally wrong, he's getting two different marches confused...this one the women were made to march against the tax otherwise be sacked, the man is a complete imbecile
The Anna Besant march was 17 years later, basic stuff he can't get right
The Leader of the Labour Party doesn't even know the dates of how the Labour movement started and the involvement of Anna Besant and the Matchgirls, he shouldn't even a need a researcher for this information!
150 years ago today, women workers at Bryant and May factory marched on Parliament against the Chancellor's proposed tax on matches. Through their collective action, they won. It galvanised the factory workers ahead of battles for pay and working conditions.
Thanks Dame Ann, I didn't know that. He probably would have pulled the wool over my eyes except that I tend to double-check everything he says.
It's good to know your history otherwise you fall into the trap of erecting a statue to an antisemite, anti-Catholic, Nazi lover like Lady Nancy Astor and proclaiming her a hero for women. Theresa May and Rachel Reeves.
Rachel Reeves hasn't been punished at all by Labour for glorifying a raving antisemite and Nazi fan. One rule for labour left another for the Blairites.
