Maybe I woke up more cynical this morning, but…
Hoping to save her job, much?
I think it really shows how far right Labour has shifted that they even accepted the move
Usually when MPs defect the receiving party tries to find them a safe seat to defend come the election. Otherwise what would the point be?
Just a reminder that this woman committed a breach of the code of conduct for mps for trying to influence a trial that her husband was convicted of sexual assault in. That’s on top of her being far right.
Apparently, she’s the first Labour member of the ERG!

One Tory MP tweeted today that it was impossible to find a Conservative in the Commons who regarded themselves as further to the right and many were outraged at her hypocrisy.
Succeeding her husband Charlie in the Dover seat after he was convicted of sex offences, she attacked her husband’s victims and was suspended from the Commons because she had “improperly sought to influence judicial proceedings” in relation to the case.
Sounds like a lovely lady.
Her being allowed to join Labour says just as much about them as it does the Tories. Labour being seen as a safe haven for very far right Tories is not a good look.
