FURY 🔥 As Sunak Loses Another MP!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 тра 2024
- Natalie Elphicke crossed the floor today to make Rishi Sunak's position even weaker. Her explanation, "From borders to biosecurity, Rishi Sunak's government is failing to keep our borders safe and secure. Lives being lost in the English Channel while small boats arrivals are once again at record levels. It's clear they have failed to keep our borders secure and cannot be trusted."
Many Tories were left bemused that Elphicke, who has always been on the right of the party and just months ago was being hugely critical of Starmer jumped ship!

Jonothan Gullis needs to stop worrying about Natalie Elphicke, and start worrying about how he is going to explain to his electorate why theTory's have gone FAR-RIGHT WING. I think Jonothan will be a one hit wonder, and will be removed by the people of Stoke. Strange how the tables can turn so quickly isn't it!.
tories always sound like they've been in government for 6 months 🙂
They couldn't cause this much chaos in six months, could they?. 😂🤣😂.
@@paulbird3235 The only thing they can do without skill is create more BREXIT disasters! That's something, isn't it?
This now results in the new Monthy Python story: the BREXIT disaster without a brain or something!
Many people from abroad say that you can only look at BREXIT through the lens of a Monthy Python film that doesn't want to stop.
I agree it is shows the most sturdy of torys have seen the light an repented
From the teeth forward. She’s seen the way the wind is blowing in Dover and doesn’t want the indignity of being voted out.
Gullis the 🔔 end
Makes so much more sense now.. TY!
Perhaps the farming community will now wake up
Early risers the Farmers, they know all about the EU through the CAP, I expect most of them are delighted those days are over, even the one that voted remain.
at this stage, do whatever it takes to get this shower out, although the Clark Kent glasses disguise is curious
You make a great point for the "why not" argument.
Omg. I would not see stuff like that usually. Because I’m in my bubble. ❤ thanks.
Brilliantly explanation for all those who don't get what's just actually happened. I'll be busy sharing as they never listen to little old me but do listen to you!! 😊
Happy days!😀
Don´t worry about it Gullis, you won´t be a tory MP soon
Wise and agreeable summing up of how things are playing out👍...and very glad to hear it from somebody who i assume comes from the Farming community (new to your uploads/channel)....i dread to think of the damage that will be done to the country by this outgoing goverment and what nasty surprises lay in store for the incoming one?! ....so unless something unforseen occurs like Sunak trying to defect to Labour!....i can't see an election taking place before next January!....thank you for your upload👏
I agree it's a positive I'm not buying into the media gaslighting on the subject.
Not just a pretty face 🥰 Liz. Great piece.
Evidence based and working with the possible is the way forward. The Conservative party seem to be nuts Rus.
Please please let’s do our utmost to rejoin our natural and closest allies and trading partners and return to more profitable trade rather than bribing India, Australia, New Zealand etc with deals that undercut our own farmers and manufacturers.
So how do we afford the £25 billion annual EU membership fee? More tax?
@@PollieBrooon-cz5yg You clearly have no idea how the European free trade system works, I’ll explain as simply as I’m able:
a) we used to receive rebates from the EU
b) we import 39% THATS THIRTY NINE PERCENT of our food from Europe, which is all subject to import duties, which are paid by you, the customer - unless the importer can afford to absorb the duty, hence the big increase in UK food prices.
c) EU food standards are rightly very strict (I for one do not wish to eat chlorine washroom chicken from the USA).
d) significant additional red tape is now required for UK - EU exporters
e) all other goods imported into the UK from Europe are now subject to import duties as well as VAT in some instances.
We received grants for infrastructure (just one example, the massive and magnificent Liverpool docks area redevelopment was financed by an EU grant).
f) Goods that we now export to the EU are now subject to import duties, making British goods more expensive.
Additional documentation is needed from EU companies both for all imported an exported goods, putting up UK prices and involving more red tape, many EU companies have ceased activities with the UK due to additional costs and red tape.
g) Many larger UK companies whose business was centred around European trade have relocated to Europe, losing tax revenue to the UK exchequer and gaining it for the European countries where they now base their trade.
h) as a nice little kicker, the £ dropped in value by up to 25% making ALL imports significantly more expensive. This was caused by world financial markets fearing the effects of Brexit on the UK economy.
I) immigration hasn’t been reduced at all in fact it has increased - ALMOST ALL western countries, the EU included, not just the UK are subject to people fleeing poor, oppressive and war torn countries.
France is no longer obliged to stop people trying to cross the English Channel.
j) the freedom to travel into and through European countries is now governed by old passport requirements.
k) queues and delays at passport control.
l) Many UK citizens with property in Europe cannot reside in them permanently.
This is a brief summary of why it was a terrible move to leave our closest free trade partners and natural allies, there are no doubt even more.
I’m not into trading barbs with those I disagree, I’m just explaining briefly why o my knowledge and experience why leaving the EU was a terrible idea, I hope this helps you to understand my reasoning.
@@PollieBrooon-cz5yg I composed a response to you post detailing imports and exports with Europe but as 9ften happens, it failed to post and just disappeared into the ether. So in short the UK imports £432 billion from Europe, that's 48% of the total imports - that was until we decided to exit our agreement. All this was without import duties. Since we left the Eurozone, this is now subject to import (and export) duties as per the WTO agreements. This is a huge hidden amount paid for by the end user You and I. In addition there's massive additional red tape for importers and exporters. If we want to export to Europe, we STILL must comply with European standards. There's much more than this, investigate for yourself, don't play follow the leader.
Regards
@@jackthebassman1 Jack I think in time the UK will diversify for food and buy more from the nascent African exporters that the EU is doing all it can to shut down with massive tariffs. Morocco is already scaling up. It's not what I wanted but given Brexit is taking place the logical step is to buy more food from better value producers outside the EU. It would be nice to think that the extra costs being added to imported food from the EU will act as a stimulus to UK producers.
@@Purple_flower09 So we should dump our existing natural allies and FREE TRADING partners into touch, with whom we had an excellent trading partnership for some nebulous speculative deal, with as yet no terms or conditions even negotiated. Hmmm. Yes, let's rush into that one.
Johnny Goolies AKA the Human Hamster is always angry, about everything.
How Britain got a colored PM is mind blogging
Labour should not let in these extremists.
Damages Sunak, may make more Tories stay at home or vote against Tories), another MP voting with Labour and not standing at the next election. Moral high ground is fine but these are positives and she won't be defining policy.
haha...love the gullis stuff....
He ALWAY'S looks as if a wasp has stung him on his lip. When he was teaching his pupils called him -- "GRUMPY-GULLIS", I wonder why?.
😂 the best cherrypicking: keep divorced but keep sleeping together 😂 love Lamy
This is the French way.😉
But Elphicke isn’t going to stand at the GE, so Tories can’t vote for her in Labour anyway. Also what a rude prick this Gullis is - to think he was a teacher!
Politics are politics..... this is crazy.
If we have to end up replacing Starmer as Labour leader, I vote for Liz Webster! ❤🎉😊
Google her husband and relaaaaax.
😃
Marina Wheeler BJ Johnson’s ex is also lined up to work for Labour .Perhaps we’re going to get a government of competent technocrats .Won’t that make a change ? Elphicke isn’t my favourite person but she’s supposed to be be pretty knowledgeable as far as housing goes.
We all have to push labour to join EU. Can't really think of it as rejoining as we will never get the deal we did have.....I will be writing to my labour mp when he's elected.
Yes it might be possible in 10 or 15 years if we started now on a determined and detailed plan. But that's not happening.
This Pascal Lamy so brilliantly sums up the english attitude on Brexit: We had to divorce so i could sleep with anyone around the world but now lets ignore that so i can sleep with you too.
I wonder how many english divorcees try that approach in real live and what the usual answer is?
Keir should be saying “thanks but no thanks”. As it is he’s insanely euphoric.
The question is has she turned down reelection? I’ve not seen a clear answer.
She can’t stand for Labour in Dovery anyway. A Labour candidate has already been selected there.
More than likely her price for this PR stunt is a peerage after the GE.
She is standing down
If British farming is in need of saving the answers in the short and medium term do not lie in joining the EU since that would take decades.
The UK government has opportunities to support British farming now. Maybe we need a campaign that spells that out.
Wonder how many Farmers will vote Labour ?
Have they a choice?
These French with their metaphors.
The Labour shows how low they are accepting those traitors.
I don't know why Starmer is so delighted doing that.
He just proved that he can't tell what is good and what is bad.
The rats jump off the sinking by corruption and incompetence boat and Starmer saves them.
Vote the Labour, Get Tories.
Deliver the mission of making Labour so right wing that the Tory voters have no more problems voting Labour. Brilliant idea for a lot of votes, just not getting Tory out of government. Maybe all Tory MPs will soon switch too?
She can stay but should not be given a party ticket to contest in next general election.
She is standing down.
@@lizwebstersbf as in there will be a byelection now? Or just whenever there will be a GE she said now she wont compete to be Labour candidate? Dont forget , a week ago she said how proud she is to be the ToryMP for Dover, so i would not rate her reliability too high.
curious, one minute of Starmer interview but 7 minutes for the far right's rabid dog...
That's an interesting take by Pascal Lamy - 'Retain your divorce status, but keeping sleeping together...'
So when the presenter, quite rightly, adds this is unlikely to be received well by the public, Pascal Lamy's advice becomes 'the secret affair with the ex-pouse..'
This is all too underhanded for me. The kind of politics that smells of Tory blue. Politics needs to have honesty. I know it's going to take time but the best approach to returning to the EU is with our eyes wide open; and we start with with Brexiteer politicians having the backbone to admit they were wrong, otherwise we continue to hinder ourselves with the damage of Brexit, and the process of fixing Brexit problems.
Incidentally this is exactly what's happened here with Natalie Elphicke's defection; it just creates a confusion of mixed messages where some think this is genius, and others think it was stupid.
Not surprised. Many of us have been saying Labour are Tory Lite for a while now. If the induction of a far-right Tory into the ranks doesn't prove it to you, then you're beyond helping.
An MP removed from the Tory ranks, voting with Labour, damaging Sunak and focused on housing - she is already supporting Labour policy on housing. She is standing down as an MP. This isn't Labour endorsing far right views.
@@tompearce3610 it is but you can deploy your cognitive dissonance if you want 🤷♂️
@@paulbo9033 hopefully you're wrong and Labour policy moves from current left leaning policy, further to the left. That said, even with closing tax loopholes I think Labour will be limited in what it can do, partly state of economy and partly the time it takes to push things through parliament.
@@tompearce3610 I hope I'm wrong too, but on current evidence it's hard to say they are going to tack left all of a sudden. It's one hell of a 'trust me bro' that Starmer supporters are asking of us.
i know starmer thinks he is scoring point against Sunak. however, the acceptance of Elphicke is insane.
It’s ok as long as she stands down at the next election. Otherwise she seems like she is only trying to save her own skin and Labour would be complicit in her venality.
Agreed but she is standing down
Honks to high heaven to me. Smacks of glory hunting in the worst way. A tory, is a tory, is a tory. Why jump ship now if not for her own ends ??
Perhaps she would’ve gone to reform which would’ve worse all round.
So under Starmer, Labour have changed. Changed so much that they appeal to a far right brexiteer and Starmer is delighted to welcome such a person to Labour.
I don't know about fury, it's more funny really, she changes party and says she won't stand in the next election....
Really she should have resigned, I think most people have given up on Sunak anyway, he's useless.
He wasn't a good Chancellor and isn't a good PM, serves the Tories right really.
Meanwhile, John Swinney the first minister of Scotland fades into the news background. The Tories and Labour are the same party. A big story on German news but barely mentioned in the UK.
Well Scotland abolished its independence 300 odd years ago.
@@martinhommel9967 A country can join a union then leave a union. Independence is never abolished.
@@tommygunn1887 it was by treaty
@@tommygunn1887 The Irish don't join the UK and it took much Irish blood letting before they could free themselves from the English yoke. So don't hold your hopes too high.
Completing the conversion of the labour party to tory. It already has a tory head of the party
A leopard doesn't change its spots.
On this issue I have to disagree with you Liz. To me, it demonstrates a complete lack of good judgement and principle by Keir Starmer. Natalie Elphicke has spent many years running down Labour, has expressed some pretty racist views about those who cross the channel in boats and, in my opinion, is a pretty unsavoury character. Her views, opinions and moral viewpoints are not those of most Labour supporters and voters. Will it backfire on Starmer? I rather think it will. I don’t want anything to stand in the way of getting the Tories out and Labour into government. But, IMHO, this is an appalling own goal by the Labour leader. I’m a lifelong Labour voter and my views are centre-left, but this disgusts me. I shall be voting tactically at the next election for the Lib Dems. Labour don’t stand a chance hereabouts. But if they did, I would definitely be holding my nose to vote for them. Not happy at all about this.
Labour Party should not have accepted someone from the far-right of the Con Party. Shockingly disappointed with Keir Starmer. Small boats: what a gimmick! There are tons of issues a lot more pressing than dinghys!
Depends if she really is not seeking re-election. If not then it’s a clever move. Dover while being a major transit port actually has very high unemployment (40%) rate especially among the young and Elphicke’s main hardline position all along has been anti-migration (via small boats) which is still a touch paper issue in coastal towns.
Gullis clearly coached to say ‘illegal migration’ at every point - however it’s not illegal under UK and international law if the migrants report to a customs officer or police officer within 24 hrs of arrival and make a claim for asylum.
The recent law passed by a Sunak attempted to ‘suspend’ international law in the UK to make it illegal but the only way to do that is to leave international bodies like the ECHR and the UN.
The only answer to migration woes (especially so called economic migrants misusing the refugee system) is for a collective change by the West to international law.
The progressives have to understand that if they think that unrestricted migration is feasible then the response will be election of hard right governments. Starmer understands this.
Right now in the ongoing campaign for German elections the anti migrant AfD is running second and with a very persuasive argument.
A smarmy BBC reporter trying to humiliate a candidate got her arse handed to her on the BBC news this evening. She asked him if he was a conspiracy theorist about the ‘Great Replacement’ ides and he calmly offered to take her around German towns and see for herself the effect of several million migrants from the ME and Africa on the nature of German towns. Hundreds of unemployed young men standing around in the town centres and numerous social problems following on. She had no answer.
I believe the sole cause is her opportunism. It is a fantasy to believe that by joining Labour, Keir Starmer will put an end to immigrants using boats to cross the channel.
His EU ''returns'' policy will bring us 130,000 illegals into UK...so where will they live?
Google her husband !!!!
She is not standing at the next election. She just hates Sunak more than labour
A UK Asylum Assessment Centre in France would stop most of the boats. Allowing Asylum claims from abroad would stop most boats. A variation of the Dublin agreement would make removal easier. Labour won't be trying to create nor maintain a wedge issue the the Tories created on purpose. Labour will employ more assessors to deal with the claims backlog.
@@tompearce3610 kinder, cheaper, more efficient but then reality does not exist for racists
Not sure about this. I know you need to win power to do any good- but do you need to abandon all your values? Allowing a person into the party despite what she's said and approved of, whilst expelling people who even whisper criticism of Israel for murdering Palestinian children sounds like a party which has lost any morality.
You say it yourself, change the politics of the party to appeal to new voters and damn the loyal ones who already support you. Labour keep making it clear that they are not anti brexit, and that's fine, a lot of their union support is also anti EU. But those who see and understand the damage caused by the wedge driven between the UK and the EU must surely wake up and realise that they need to support a different party.
With FPTP voting and the current political make up it's a choice of Tory or Labour. I think a more realistic aim is to move Labour's position once in power.
