"... this was an opportunity [for Starmer] to give the left a kicking. But prioritising factional score-settling over the hungry bellies of little children? Labour was founded to abolish hardship, and poverty is a form of violence unnecessarily imposed by a wealthy society on its citizens. Those seven Labour MPs who voted to rescue children from poverty marched through the voting lobbies to uphold their party’s traditions; the leadership’s behaviour has desecrated them."
