YES 38%

NO 62%

No. Starmer’s Labour see themselves as the heirs to Blair. The red wall crumbled because Labour stopped representing the working class. BOBD ANDREW MEDLICOTT Yes. The unions can be supported without being on a picket line. Labour must appeal to everyone not just unionists. Yes. Starmer and Lammy know they have no chance of winning in 2024 if they back unions and strikers. VELCRO123 No. Just who do they think will vote for them when they’re decimating the very foundations of the Labour Party? GILLIAN MELROSE
