Its a shame she felt she had to leave, as Stamer got elected with a big majority, but she is a very decent person who stands up for her convictions, which themselves are very in with current Labour voters, (Not ones who voted Reform, but actual current Labourites) so it is a shame for Labour, they need people like this. I think Stamer will last, as people are never ousted just after a election, and he is very moderate on most issues, so I dont think there is appetite in the party to replace him, I think they are grateful he won the election.

@johnrussell3961 I was not condemning Mr Stamer, I was just saying, its a shame she left the party, as most Labour voters, would agree with her on most things, and she certainly is not more aligned to Tory, Reform or Green voters, and even Lib Dems as they are more extreme on the things she opposes than Labour at times. So its a shame, as probably she is as down the road, centre left as can be. She is not extreme on anything, and likely chimes with most 2024 election Labour voters. So its a shame she left. But I suppose really its just a excuse, and really she was very unhappy with the way she was treated by certain other members, for her rather moderate views on a certain other issue. Which to be fair, most Labour policy now chimes with her to a extent. But maybe it shall be fun for her to have 5 years as a rent a mouth independent, and really considering the way she was treated maybe thats her right. And really also it wont harm Labours majority. Maybe she will be able to appears on Question time all the time now, as a indepdent voice,
