I think Starmer rightly realises that if he was too vociferous at the moment, it could back fire. I'm sure he'll be more vocal in his criticism of the government when the intensity of the pandemic eases.
To be fair, I think Starmer is right on this one. The back end of a pandemic, when everyone has been struggling isn't the time to strike. What if NHS workers had fancied striking in the middle of it?OP you should change the thread title. Starmer's gone in a polar opposite direction.
"Keir Starmer opposes strike action by teachers and says they may have to work during holidays."
What a great leader of the Labour party he is - you know, the political organisation that's there to represent workers and the trade union movement. Happy and willing to throw workers Ts & Cs away like that. I wonder who he'll throw under a bus next.
