'A punch in the gut': The defection of Natalie Elphicke



Following the defection of the Dover and Deal MP Natalie Elphicke to Labour, Beth, Ruth and Jess discuss the surprise move and whether it could have been handled differently by Sir Keir Starmer. 

They also talk about Beth’s interview with the former immigration minister Robert Jenrick and his warnings about Reform UK. 

Plus, how significant was the defeat of former Conservative mayor of the West Midlands Andy Street? Beth and Jess were both there to tell the story. 

And they answer a question on Labour and the Muslim vote, and what the party can do to restore confidence and trust.

  2. Rat Phillips hasn't got guts to punch, she's a vacuous career politician who truth be told would rather be in 'opposition' so she can carry on with her part time MP role and rake in second income via podcasts like this

  3. "The Gender Spectrum – from masculine to feminine:
    Men / Queer Men / Non-binary / Trans-women / Women

    Trans-women & women have different pelvic anatomy. Men & non-binary people also have different pelvic structures.

    Discussions about gender identities must be taken seriously, as these definitions affect public spaces & others' lives. Pelvic qualities can be used to decide who can go to which bathroom or play in competitive sports.

    Identities aren't just words. They have lasting & irreversible consequences to those who choose to transition. People under 21 shouldn't be able to make such radical changes to their bodies – which often require surgery."

  4. Kier Starmer is not perpetuating a 'broad church'. Starmer has actively eliminated left of centre supporters & members & has actively prevented even innocuous womens' groups from joining what is effectively still the New Labour Party that Blair launched. Blair is a Tory born & bred. Starmer is a member of the TRILATERAL COMMISION, other members of which have included Jeffrey Epstein. Membership of this shadowy organisation alone means that he too is a Tory. Add to this that he married into a family which has strong affiliation to the USA/Israeli agenda & his left leaning credentials are more than suspect. Vorderman has a point. IMO. Cheers. p.s. Never trust a Tory.
