1. A winnable seat will now have the vote split. They just can’t help themselves…

2. So she doesn’t actually care about taking down the tories, it’s all about her.

3. good for her, the way she’s been treated by the party is abhorrent

4. Don’t blame her. She has every right. Fuck Keir Starmer.

5. Good for her – she’s been treated appallingly by the party apparatchiks, who by jettisoning her to make way for a Labour First crony who has zero connection to the area, have shown total contempt for the electorate; if she splits the vote and the Tories retain the seat, it’s on Akehurst and his goons

6. Brilliant. I would vote for her if I lived in that constiuancy. And if Labour lose because of this its 100% their own fault.

7. It’s not hard, after the Corbyn anti-semitism campaign (I do think he was unfairly hounded over it) – if you’re a Labour hopeful, just don’t mention the Jews, avoid talking about Israel at all costs – it ain’t hard.

   Yes, she was treated harshly – but come on, have just an ounce of common sense.

8. Fucks sake Labour, did you really have to pull this shit in IDS’s seat?

   That bastard is going to get back in now. The architect of the universal credit disaster.

   Any chance they could both pull out and let the Lib Dems have a crack?

9. She would have my vote over some twat that’s been parachuted in and isn’t even from the area.
