And generations of trade unionists and MPs have always managed to resolve conflicts via a mutual understanding and common resolve to unite to beat the Tory opposition. Unfortunately for Starmer, the party and the unions have developed in different ways and in different directions over a number of years to the point where areas of agreement are increasingly thin on the ground and disputes, therefore, more difficult to resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a start, we are long past the era when Labour Cabinet ministers were seasoned former trade union officials themselves. Trade union activism, such as it is, is no longer the preserve of horny-handed sons (or daughters) of toil. It is simply something that ambitious graduates make sure they have before they embark on a political career that will take them from Oxford to Parliament as an MP\u2019s researcher, to special
