Is getting elected as a Conservative and then defecting easier then getting through Labour's centralized candidate selection processes?

Love that our 2 mains parties are so similar members can bounce back and forth so easily. Really says a lot about our choices in this democracy

Wakeford won by .8% of the vote so it could very well be that he thinks his best chances of winning next time are switching to Labour.

Majority of 402 from a formerly safe Labour seat, so literally jumping now in the hope people will forget he's a Tory. Gonna laugh my arse off if Boris ends up winning the VONC by a single vote though.

When Tories can defect to Labour and be welcomed, and nothing of any note change in their politics, you have to wonder if we even have a Labour party anymore.

Yet having pressed 'like' on a tweet that was actually a local labour party post mentioning the word 'green' gets you suspended/expelled from the party for supporting another party. (Can't find a link for that now, it was back in 2016 when saying you liked the Foo Fighters in an emphatic manner would get you expelled.) Also https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...y-a7217376.html quote:Woman blocked from joining Labour on basis she tweeted support for Greens

Finally, The Labour Party is back to its original purpose, a parachute for tories.

It was originally "South Wark", the normal erosion of pronunciation turned it into suvvuk, either you accept the erosion or you don't, don't drop a "th" in there just to sound like you're better than the common proles.

So can they mention the nonce one or not? The publicly known nonce one. forkboy84 posted:loving Southwark.

Johnson seemed back to his usual smarmy oval office self today. I'm hoping that's him misreading the room as opposed to having been given news to cheer himself up. Good digs from Starmer and Blackford today at least.

Charlotte Nichols decidedly not calling for her mate Christian to face a by-election. I've never been prouder and more content with my decision to tell the Labour Party to go gently caress itself. Every day they add to the list of things that confirm they're a heap of poo poo. How any of us thought this party was going to be the vehicle to progressive change is embarrassing, isn't it? I mean, hope is one thing...

I'll give Kieth a tiny thumbs up for the "Bury South is a Labour seat, Prime Minister" but my god I always forget just how whiny and rubbish his speaking voice is.

Honestly a Labour Party committed to being poo poo is still better than the the Turbononces, even if it's like choosing between a warm poo poo sandwich and a cold one.

Which is interesting because last week he managed to inflate himself up enough to lose the whiny twinge. I think he needs to do more PMQs drunk.
