Why didn't she go independent or Liberal if it was only about antisemitism within Labour? What utter BS. She might have to deal with HB&B's cockwobbling nonsense now, that will learn her.

Perhaps she's more 'Blair's new Labour' than liberal or independent. New Labour/Soft Conservatism?

Did HB&B win a council seat?

Responding to legitimate concerns about anti-semitism by calling it BS is precisely what has got Labour into this mess.

Hopefully not!
I hope so too. His NSC antics revealed an immature dickhead.

Sorry, you've misread my point. I'm calling out the motives for joining the Tories, not the antisemitism.
She is basically trying to save her position as a councillor by joining the opposition rather than make an actual stand on principle.

Apologies if I misunderstood you, but it's an incredibly fine line you're treading.

She's a Moulsecoomb and Bevendean councilor. Strange decision. Indeed, why not go independent ?

He's standing in Withdean. They could put up a dead sheep there and it would still get elected.

I’m a voter there, I’ll make sure I don’t vote for him. But with PR at local level, it’s hard to keep someone out.

The dead sheep would still be preferable.

Very true at local level. Incredible ego’s, and literally experts at politicking (bitching, back stabbing, gossiping) to tread on fellow party contenders in clambering up the ladder.
That's unfair. [MENTION=16159]Bold Seagull[/MENTION] was referring to the decision to join the conservatives rather than go independent. None of the labour MPS have joined the tories
