A very British strike

There is something distinctly British about this disgraceful situation, although I can´t really put my finger on what it might be. 

Yes, the unionized staff of the Labour Party has voted in favor of strike action (i.e. against the Party). The reason? Other labor unions are cutting back their donations to Labour and members are leaving in droves, probably left-wing activists opposed to the new leadership around Keir Starmer. So Labour can no longer afford paying its own office drones a living wage (or is it salary). 

Starmer might end up becoming PM anyway, since BoJo has some problems with, I don´t know, Jedi swords and birthday cakes.

Were is "Yes, Minister" now, when we finally need them?
