Ahmed Yaqoub is standing in the GL now after his relative success in the mayoral. We need more independents like him all over.

Otherwise Monster Raving party it is.
Do we? He's going to be standing in my constituency and I very much doubt I'll vote for him. He seems to be running on a purely pro-palestine platform and doesn't have much to say about local issues.

He seems to be a grifter who's trying to capitalise on the current mood to get himself onto the gravy train. The fact Galloway is endorsing him only adds to that.

"You and your paper can feck off."

She's barely gone a week without being on TV or radio in the seven months since that Newsnight interview and if this isn't the first time it's been brought up, it's certainly the second or third and even then it was down to a guest to do it.

Unfortunately she doesn't have a conscience for it to haunt, but watching her squirm for a few seconds when she realised Ash brought receipts was a joy.

This is a good thing. He has experience of winning elections. You can't implement policies that help people unless you're in power. The more Tories that join Labour the better I say. Blah blah blah etc etc
And here comes another one!


Boris Johnstone ex wife :lol:

Yeah can see really on Thronberry face that she knows she will go down in history as a pusher of genocide.

All done for a shitty cabinet position.

Braverman's rhetoric is utterly demented but Kier Starmer, David Lammy, and Emily Thornberry's total defence of Israel did more to get us to this catastrophic situation.

It's still good to see David Lammy ask a couple of decent questions of the government. Lammy has already condemned himself but by doing the bare minimum now hopefully he can put some pressure to stop this carnage.

Utter tripe as per from you. Excusing racism is a new low, Buster.
Any news about who that racist 'bad apple' woman was (I know already, she's a secondary school teacher) in the MSM? I can't bring myself to clicking on any news sites.

Any comments from Starmer, or his goblins?

Well would you look at that. Someone made something up and put it online. Always thought that was dodgy. If you just listen to the clip and don't look at the words overlayed onto it, it's pretty clear she isn't saying what was alleged. Poor girl.

What is she saying then? It certainly sounds like it could have been what she was accused of to me. It's not clear enough to make a distinction either way.

She sounds like she's saying exactly what she claims...

Guy out of shot - "Who did he vote for?"
Woman - "I couldn't understand...90" (she starts saying the number of the next house they should knock on)

Seriously turn it up and don't look at the screen.

Mate. You’ve just been given the full explanation. Yet you’re still reaching to suggest it’s more sensible that a woman out knocking doors in support of a Pakistani candidate is throwing around racial slurs.

Stop.

Honestly, the biggest crime the Tories and their media enablers have committed against this country is in the toxicity they’ve injected into everything.

Everyone in this country is whipped into a frenzy. Nothing is considered. All kindness has disappeared. A woman has been put through trauma. Aim your guns at the people that did this shit.

That subtitled track and video made me believe she’d said it. I feel bad for that. But it’s akin to the brainstorm/green needle videos among others. Our brains are not analytical in anything like the way we think they are.

Awful thing to lie about and put out there, could be so damaging to the woman involved in so many ways. Disgusting.

Yeah turned it up and you're probably right actually.

I didn't think I'd be proved right about him so quickly. Faking racism for his own political gain

Sorry but Natalie Elphicke is a complete waste of space. The previous person defecting was a Doctor, highlighting issues about the NHS and standing down at the next election. Elphicke is a nutcase and doing it to save her own skin. She should not be selected as a candidate at the next election.

Yeah this cnut...


So import the policies and now import the corruption and sleaze. Seriously, What's the feckin point in voting.
"You're not stopping the boats fast enough" isn't a reason why someone should defect to Labour but, ffs, here we are.

Elphicke joining Labour because she thinks they will be harsher on border security is hardly the best endorsement of the policies I'm looking for under a Labour government.

To be honest, it's quite a legitimate reason but not in the way she views it.


She is standing down at the next election. As long as she follows the whip...

She really should not have been allowed in at all. Nothing gained by Labour allowing her in.



I don't want to defend her policies or behaviour. I'm pleased she will be standing down.

*I'm just going on Politicslive in reference to her standing down.

Why even take her onboard though? Just say no thanks, your values and voting history don't align with that of the current Labour party (even if in reality they do). Might win back a few disgruntled left voters. Such an easy win really I don't get it.

She was also one of the bigger gobshites against Rashford and the whole school meals thing as well.

Why would Starmer want 'the fleas' back?
