Not really a fan of her being in the Labour party. Think that was quite unnecessary – Starmer is going to win the next election with or without this woman. And what specifically about the Labour Party’s aims and values resonate with her? When you join the Labour party as a member, it’s not like subscribing to Amazon Prime. It means you have to actually agree to the aims and values of the Labour Party as described in Clause IV, which begins “The Labour Party is a democratic socialist party,” and includes things like “promotes equality of opportunity” and “delivers people from … prejudice”. Does she agree with any of that? I’m very confused as to how a right wing ERG member could possibly want to join a democratic socialist party, let alone agree with its broader aims and values.
The merit of permitting her to cross the aisle and sit as a Labour MP is obvious, but so is the cost. I didn’t like it when all those antisemites joined under Corbyn’s leadership, and I don’t like this now.
