Floodgates open for Independents announcing they’ll stand at general election
Jody McIntyre is the latest UK citizen to announce he will stand for election as an Independent MP at the next general election.
As his video clip below makes clear, he says he is doing this in protest at the way Jess Phillips, the Labour MP for the Birmingham Yardley constituency in which he is standing, supports Israel’s genocide of the people of Gaza:
I hereby announce my intention to unseat Labour Friend of Israel and MP for Birmingham Yardley, Jess Phillips.
The people need a representative who speaks for them!https://t.co/dz0ERauI0G pic.twitter.com/ySPzUxr5kR

Mr McIntyre, who is disabled, has been active in politics for more than a decade – and can expect little support from the mainstream media. Here he is, being asked by a BBC News reporter if he threatened police at a demonstration, in his wheelchair, by “rolling towards the police”. He can’t even move his chair by himself:
Here’s Jody McIntyre on BBC News in 2010. He’d been dragged out of his wheelchair by Police on a student protest, all caught on camera. The BBC presenter suggests he might’ve had it coming for ‘rolling towards the Police’: pic.twitter.com/wfSVL4NIT4

And there are more. One has to agree with Sameh Habeeb that unseating Labour MPs has become an issue of crucial importance for voters across the UK who are sickened by Keir Starmer’s perversion of a once-great political force.
Unseating Labour MPs is not just a temporary trend but a strategic objective for millions of voters across the country. I will do my best to unseat @jamesmurray_ldn from #EalingNorth https://t.co/41EAmSUWCZ

The movement against Starmer’s Labour can only be accelerated by allegations that he has rigged the selections of party election candidates:
@UKLabour #SelectionsScandal
cannot be swept under the carpet.
Please get the disgusting & disgraceful vote rigging by @UKLabour under the leadership of @Keir_Starmer everywhere, this must be highlighted in every news outlet there is. #GetStarmerOUT— OCISA Corbyn Inspired (@OcisaCorbyn) March 26, 2024
But Labour-held constituencies are not the only ones that are seeing Independent candidates rise to challenge the incumbents. Conservative and Liberal Democrat-held seats are also up for grabs.
How about you? Do you fancy your chances against the absolute rabble we have in Westminster at the moment?
