ewerk 26828 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Natalie fucking Elphicke? She’s a right wing cunt. I can’t see how anyone in Labour thought it a good idea to let her in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Starmer would have had some splaining to do if they'd fielded her as a candidate at the GE. This softens the blow for the left of what is a canny weird defection, but is basically just an exercise in kicking Sunak when he's down. I say this with no fear of contradiction: "THAT is a policy we can ALL get behind". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26828 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Quote When I was elected in 2019, the Conservative Party occupied the centre ground of British politics. The party was about building the future and making the most of the opportunities that lay ahead for our country. Well that’s absolute bullshit for a start.

Gemmill 35582 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Lots of this stuff being surfaced. Also her saying Rashford missed a shootout penalty for England cos he was too focused on free school meals. She sounds like a fucking idiot mind. Although I don't think this harms Labour too much with the electorate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck me, you wouldn't get a decent senior BA for that down there !!!! Aye, and you’d have contractors working for you in the team earning multiple times your salary 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then that’ll be the last thing they ever have to do with the party (and Parliament probably) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 17093 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Shouldn't there be a by-election now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30804 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 20 minutes ago, wykikitoon said: Shouldn't there be a by-election now? No, because they’ve only defected. They’re still the elected representative for that constituency. It would take enough people in the constituency to petition to recall the MP to trigger a by election (10% of those eligible to vote iirc).

Aye, if they've had a parliamentary suspension of 10 sitting days or more, like Johnson had. It is a difficult one to get your head round. I think her constituents would have been more happy for her to go the reform route. Tbh Brexit has shafted large areas of Kent but they voted for it so fuck them. 👍 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4014 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 She's gone to Labour instead of Reform so she can be rewarded with a peerage after the election. Another tory cunt in the Lords is the long term result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 7073 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 It's a stunt, she damages Sunak, she's fucking off come the election, it's fine. Labour would have been mad to knock it back. One a week at PMQ's would be hilarious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26828 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Zahawi is the latest to flee the sinking ship. Looks like self-awareness isn't a great strength of his. Quote In his statement on X, Mr Zahawi said: "Every morning as I shave my head in the mirror, I have to pinch myself. How is it that a boy from Baghdad who came to these shores, fleeing persecution and unable to speak a word of English, was able to do as much as I have?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 18051 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Unfortunately the negatives of these polls are, with polling this bad, they can't get worse for the cunts and I fear it will push Sunak into an election as late as possible, even January 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
