'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.
Email Beth, Jess, and Ruth at electoraldysfunction@sky.uk (sky.uk) , post on X to @BethRigby, or send a WhatsApp voice note on 07934 200 444.

    They always mean "English culture". Let's face it; we have form for suppressing culture at home and abroad that we don't like e.g. banning languages in Scotland, Ireland & Wales

    The reason Abbott is kept at arms length is because very few people outside her constituency and London actually like her. Starmer knows that she is likely to repeat one of her faux pas's at any time so is not going to take the risk. It's the same reason why Thornbury and Lammy will be quiet too - Thornbury's laughable attempt at trying to gain the 'football' vote with her England kit statements will just have made the country laugh - she cannot abide 'white van man' and she sees them as all Brexit voting right wing football hooligans.

    Notice the ex Tory got a meeting with Keir. Rosie Duffield still hasn't got an apology. I despise Labour and Keir and the ideology pandering.

    "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."

    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

    That's rich considering the vacuous career politicians from the self-serving, fraudulent Tory party all seem to be on telly, mostly on Propaganda channel GBNews as their second, or even third jobs!
