Brexit Party Might Have Their First M P Today....

[Spicerack]

Kate Hoey to make an announcement to her constituency this afternoon.
She won't say what it's about but switching to The Brexit Party would make sense.
What say you?

[agchristie]

She represents Vauxhall which voted 78% Remain.

Hmmm.

[jim360]

Her twitter account doesn't mention "Labour" in her description, which could be an interesting sign. Or not.

Let's see what she says but so far the news hasn't picked up on anything afoot so it might just be a routine announcement after all.

Sounds a load of hooey to me.

The last thing the Brexit party needs is a couple of token MPs. (It didn't do UKIP any good.) Better to be able to say - look we have x million supporters but no representation.

[Spicerack]

Ought to hold a by-election given the support for Remain.
Momentum want her out.
Might just retire?

[ToraToraTora]

That'll please Agent Cob and his storm troopers!

[ToraToraTora]

I think the MP for Vauxhall is being a bit Cavalier!

[Spicerack]

You shouldn't mokka joke of it, ttt.

[ToraToraTora]

Of corsa won't!

looks like someone else will be the victor.....

[ToraToraTora]

Viva for that!

[mushroom25]

Ms Hoey has said "take your seat in the HoC and chevette"......

[Spicerack]

Oh well. Momentum would have forced her out, anyway.
Shame, I quite liked her and we can't have any more Vauxhall puns.

[cassa333]

She could always stand at the next election as an independent or Brexit Party as it says she will not seek to be re-elected as a labour MP.

[ToraToraTora]

yes, cassa, she'll have thrown off that particular insignia!

[mushroom25]

in the U.S., she'd be a senator.....

[Gromit]

Kate Whoshe is not seeking election as a Labour MP at the next election. That is it. Full stop. Period.
She is not changing parties, doing the honourable thing and fighting a by-election (they never do.)
She is just not carrying on.

[jim360]

Brexit Party will have to wait for the by-election in Wales, then.

[Togo]

She was always in the wrong party(nearly said trousers there). No place in layboor for an MP with honour, honesty, or integrity. Boris will need a new speaker when he gets to pick his people to lead us from the abyss. If she does not join the Brexiteers then she would make an excellent speaker...…..and good riddance to the preening cuckold.
