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.

"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...
Am I reading it right that she won't be standing in the ge?
I’ve heard that but can’t find any evidence for it. I hope she isn’t standing.
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.
What do you think I've said in relation to this?

Just on that
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?
Welcoming in a nutcase, another reason not to vote for Starmer’s Red Tories.
JRM and Braverman will cross the floor next and be welcomed with open arms.
Are Labour that desperate to be seen as scoring a point over the Tories that they'll take someone like that?
Every day it seems the Labour Party is giving me one more reason not to vote for them.
The state of this...

Very funny.
Yeah not sure this is the win Labour think it is… on a local level what’s the general election campaign going to be like in Dover now?
It’s going to come crashing down rapidly on Starmer at some point, absolutely feck all substance to his “Changed Labour Party TM” beyond flag shagging and stealing Tories. Really is the Southgate of political leader.

Presumably if Man City win the PL, Starmer will reveal he was a lifelong City fan.
Not really a problem in my eyes. He’ll win the GE. Perhaps the next as a cakewalk as 4 years isn’t that long in Politics. Perhaps 2-3 Green MP’s At the next turn in 2029. And a Labour Party able to move closer to Corbyn policies from a position of strength beyond that. This off the back of a better national
Landscape that now. It’s the hope that kills yoj.
This framed by Southgate being fantastic for England for at least 4+ years, then running out of ability.
Fecking hell she posts here!
Fair play Starmer is keeping to his word
Why do you guys do this childish shit?
16 years ago. Arsenal mentioned.
It’s so easy to check. Just stop.
It’s also easy to check and find out that he’s not really an England fan. On that one he’s political and it grates with me. But he’s an Arsenal fan and hasn’t just picked it up recently. Coverage has increased as Arsenal are good and he’s in the public eye. He goes to home matches, lives ‘near’ the ground and has been spotted at games, at pubs in the area, and on the Overground on the way there.
We’ve become so deeply mistrusting of politicians over the last 20 years. But in this space, on a football forum, we can absolutely prove that he likes what we like, is a somewhat tidy player for an old git, and wholesomely enjoys one passion that we all do too.

Yep, I would slam the door in their fecking faces.
It was a joke.
Being the most incompetent Labour leader in my lifetime is not.
Ah, the famous pivot.

Yeah I was prepared to be pragmatic and vote Labour to get the Tories out but feck that.
Changing the Tory badge to red isn’t a reason to vote.

The other day he said he wanted to leave NATO to protect the UK's borders. Probably should have stuck to cricket.
He's been reading into Galloway a bit more then.
Alright Natalie.
Eh? That's what he said. Amongst other moronic things.
Why are Labour accepting these cnuts?
