MP Kim Johnson slams Labour leader Keir Starmer in passionate speech at Liverpool docks strike

MP Kim Johnson slammed Labour leader Keir Starmer in a fiery speech at the Port of Liverpool, where dock workers are fighting for better pay and working conditions.

The Riverside MP joined the picket line outside Mersey Docks and Harbour Company (MDHC) in Seaforth this morning, where hundreds of workers are currently on strike over a 8.3% pay rise offer which they say amounts to a pay cut as it is not in line with the current rate of inflation.

She said: "I'm proud to have been elected as a Labour MP. I'm a socialist MP. I'm a member of the socialist campaign group and I bring solidarity and support, and I will tell you that Keir Starmer will not stop me from being on a picket line.
