Dear Bob,
Thank you for your email.
Please be assured that I have unreservedly condemned the barbaric terrorism committed on Israel by Hamas. I stand with Israel at this time.
I have signed a public letter supported by over 300 other Parliamentarians and which I attach, setting out my position.
My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected.
Best regards,
Office of Natalie Elphicke MP 13/10

Bob
I'm no expert on Israel , and recognise the need to tackle the Hamas , my understanding then falls short when Elphicke , Tories and Labour give that Govt the right to go in a bomb innocent Palestinians., Including children.

Jeff Phillips obviously thinks it more important to prop up her Mohammedan vote by meaningless virtue signalling rather than continuing with her (excellent) work on Domestic Abuse and Safeguarding?

Quite a rebellion last night. Kind of thing you can cope with in opposition, a little less so in government.

Neil
Only thing now is Starmer could well be seriously affected by the rebels.
He continues to go against quite a large part of the country .

I think he sees the current situation in the Middle East as a completely ring fenced issue of conscience and that it won't be repeated anywhere else. Probably could have made life a bit easier for himself by making it a free vote.

That's the trouble with YOUR leader Neil .
He now has the issue of replacing a number of MPs positions that usually supported him .

He'll be ok here because we are in opposition and nobody is that interested. A good lesson that he can't take MPs for granted. Really, it's a good lesson.

The thing was not much more than a show.
But within the context of the show, perhaps 'Jeff' discovered in some dusty, cob-webbed corner of her mind a small voice that told her that working for 'women's safety' while defending the shredding of women with hot shrapnel and burying them under rubble with their children was kind of unhinged.
Just a thought.

I think Neil's leader has lost touch with reality .
Ok he will get into number ten
Bob's lot are making sure of that.
The concerns for many people is that Neil's lot are just a weakened version I what we have already

Gaza comes to Newham as Labour trounced by ex-Labour CLP 'women's officer'.
Or, 'the [43%] swing's the thing.'

Rosie still having problems.
''The MP for Canterbury, who has previously claimed she has been ostracised by Sir Keir Starmer and the party for her beliefs about women’s rights, is currently not on the party’s approved list of candidates to stand at the next general election.

Depends if the conflict is ongoing. If it is, it may well do. Labour will certainly need a policy to mitigate it.

Must be painful sitting on a fence?
His constituents don't want him to march against anti-semitism?

Canterbury seat.
Hope she stands whatever Labour decides.
It will be interesting to watch Labour cope with this.
Reckon Conservative win in a split vote.
She has won & held this seat because she is attractive & moderate.
University vote plays a major factor in this one.
Worth putting each way money on this is one.
Your view Bob?

This Duffield business is quite an insight into how modern Labour patrols and tightens the boundaries of permissible thought within the Party, by means of networks of micro-policing social media enforcers (e.g. 'comedians') to maintain narrative grip (through, e.g., reporting, gaslighting and dogwhistling) and effect the sanctioning of Party members suspected of lacking sufficient ideological purity.
Hats off to Starmer, whose Leninist roots have found the new technological soil in which this poisonous plant is now fruiting so appetisingly in public view.
(Also, if anything needs investigating it's the pitiful historical knowledge of Labour's minion man army of political commissars (the loathsome Izzard included) whose narrow range of historical reference means they repeatedly fail the 'make a criticism or historical comparison without mentioning WW2/Hitler/Nazis' challenge.)
