Natalie Elphicke, one of the nastiest right-wing zealots in parliament, joining Labour is a sad reflection on Labour's shameful move to the right. Expect more anti-immigration rhetoric from the Red Tories.
Labour: We oppose doing X. It harms the most vulnerable in society, damages the economy and the environment, and violates our international treaty obligations.
Conservatives: We have a huge majority, so we’ve done X!
Journalists: Will Labour reverse X if it wins the next election?
Siobhain McDonagh, Labour, on Politics Live last year. She confirms Labour have been told to vote Tory over the SNP or they're out. Labour have made deals around Scotland with the Tories to take over various councils. She also confirms this is Starmer's doing.
@LizEllisPhD@Stoat Starmer is relying on inertia to win an election.
Most people vote by colour, not by policy so #SirKidStarver is hoping on that, rather than convincing anybody he's the right person to vote for.
It's all very cynical and undemocratic.
Labour in Scotland rejoicing under the tag of 'optional identity mark' and of being an 'accounting unit'.
"Scottish Labour Party" also appears under the list of "accounting units" of the wider UK party. The unit's given address is in England, at Labour Central, Kings Manor, Newcastle, NE1 6PA.
@morgfair and yet the @guardian is enabling rightwing plutocrats at every turn ( #SirKidStarver for starters!)
THEY Sabotaged #jeremycorbyn before last general election, charge led by @pollytoynbee
I dont believe the @guardian is a friend to the #ClimateCrisis or to #workersrights or any potential #realsocialist party
They're a talking shop for no action
DONT put your trust in the @guardian they're soft on everything, except real socialism, granite blocks from a great height on that concept!
The #BBC has apologised to the batrachian #Farage, but the sum total of it is: "We reported you lost your #Coutts account because you don't have the money. This was not entirely accurate. You also lost your account because you're a bigoted shit."
Farage and his fanbois are gloating. But he's still gunning after someone senior in the bank, because it was never about money or 'spree feach'. This is about revenge and intimidation, and always has been.
@alexanderhay#SirKidStarver is the biggest #Tory around.
He'd have #Farage in #Labour if the toad-man were interested but for Nigel Labour has 'too many Blacks' for his liking, much to Keir's sadness.
He utterly deserved that nickname. It"s horrifically accurate. 13 years of deadly and unnecessary Tory austerity, and the official opposition leader wants to continue it. May the nickname persist with him into history.
