Of course Anneliese Dodds thinks it's preposterous that Natalie Elphicke, one of the most right-wing Tories, has defected to Labour.

Here is the problem when your party is led by a dishonest man.

The dishonesty is infectious. You all become dishonest as a price of loyalty.

To anyone who thought Labour might get serious about tackling abuse in SW1, this is a heartbreaking abjuration of responsibility from Anneliese Dodds.

I also have some questions about its truth 1/3

Not sure I can confirm this headline.

This, by Anneliese Dodds, is not correct.

Natalie Elphicke was never investigated over her comments about her ex-husbandā€™s victims ā€” including her assertion that the serial sex-offender was punished for being ā€œattractiveā€ to women.

She was sanctioned for the wholly separateā€¦

On Amol Rajan asked Anneliese Dodds why The Labour Party welcomes someone who venerated Boris Johnson, but not someone who shared a stage with Ken Loach.
For clarity, there was no complaint against me. No appeal process. Nothing. The Labour Party has badly lost its way.

Has Labour had a more right-wing MP than Natalie Elphicke? (All periods of the party's history are in bounds).

Natalie Elphickeā€™s values are not the values of the labour movement.

Itā€™s outrageous that she should be allowed to join the Labour benches while principled socialists like Diane Abbott MP and Jeremy Corbyn still havenā€™t had the whip restored.

I was expelled from the Labour Party twice for liking Facebook pages but good to see theyā€™re happy to let the worst people on the Tory benches in.

Columbia A&S faculty just resolved to put a motion of no confidence in Presidential leadership to the vote. This is in addition to investigation. A weaker motion calling for an investigate-first strategy was defeated by more than 2:1. Voting in coming week.

Very sad to hear of the death of Steve Albini. Marking this sad occasion by listening to the Breeders, the Pixies and PJ Harvey. šŸ˜¢

After her husband was convicted of sexual assault, Natalie Elphicke declared he was ā€œattractive, and attracted to, womenā€ and that that made him ā€œan easy target for dirty politics and false allegationsā€.

Remember that the next time someone claims Keir Starmer has any integrity.

This is the man advising Starmer to water down workers' rights policies.

Founder of corporate lobby firm Global Counsel whose clients include union-busting Centrica ā€” the company that fired hundreds of British Gas engineers who refused to accept attacks on terms & conditions.

Come on, Starmer supporters!
Let's hear you loudly cheer on your new Labour MP, hard right ex-Tory MP Natalie Elphicke!
With her track record of
- Refugee bashing
- Marcus Rashford bashing
- Union bashing
What's not to be proud of!

This is an absolute disgrace and a new low for Starmer.

Is Starmer's Labour now a safe haven for any defecting racist Tory who want to stop the boats, more Rwanda flights and join in with the abuse of black England players after missing a penalty?

Here's how Labour MPs reacted to our reporting on Charlie Elphicke's 'protection racket' in 2022.

Natalie was one of a group of MPs who tried to improperly influence his criminal trial.

She also dismissed his victims' allegations after his conviction for sexual offences.
