Three Labour MPs could defect to the Conservatives? Good! LET THEM.
Wishful thinking: we all know Keir Starmer is a closet Tory but it is unlikely that he is among the three Labour MPs allegedly planning to defect to the Conservatives.
Doesn’t it say everything about the Parliamentary Labour Party that Keir Starmer leads, that when its members plan to defect, they decide to go to the Tories?
No self-respecting Labour Party member would ever consider joining the Conservatives. Not if they ever had true Labour values – because Conservative values are poison to traditional Labour beliefs.
The fact that such people are Labour MPs shows just how bad the Tory entryism became under successive leaderships since Tony Blair – and what a shame it is that Jeremy Corbyn was unable to push through compulsory reselection.
These are people who are said to be despairing at Starmer’s failure to close the Conservatives’ lead in the opinion polls – despite the fact that his, and their own, attacks on Labour’s traditional, socialist, membership are directly responsible for this failure.
They are also said to be angry that Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner branded the Tories as “racists” and “scum”. Well, the racism is easily provable…
According to the Mail (sorry),
Party insiders conceded it would be a massive blow to Sir Keir’s already beleaguered leadership.
And it would: it would show that he prefers Conservatives to people with traditional Labour values, and it would suggest that there are far more closet Tories in the PLP.
So This Writer says: let the defections happen – the sooner the better.
With a bit of luck it will persuade other quislings to go back to their true home as well.
And then Labour can select some proper socialists to stand for – and win – their seats at the next general election, because we know voters are tribal.
I only wish one of them turned out to be Keir Starmer himself.

Beggars belief
It just shows that they are career politicians whose only goal is to earn money as an MP not caring about their constituents or anything except themselves, thinking they have a better chance of keeping their jobs with another party. They are trash.
So who are these Class Traitors? Good riddance to them whoever they are. Tories are Public Enemy Number One, ” lower than vermin”.
Absolutely!
