1. > Mr Blake was elected a Labour councillor in Haringey in 2014, but left the party in October 2023 to sit as an independent on the council

   So he left before Starmer formed a government

2. >ramped up deportations and aped the far-right with anti-immigrant rhetoric

   This is the power of lies.

   Yes, deportations are up. That’s good.

   No, he hasn’t aped to the far-right or gone anti-immigration.

3. Has someone at the standard forgotten the concept of linear time? The councilor left in 2023, which was before the election.

4. Councillors don’t actually mean much though do they..

5. The Greens are the only major party that is against killing Palestinians abroad and disabled at home, so this makes a lot of sense.

   Now, if only the media would give them as much air time as Farage and co…

6. The sub Standard is part owned by Daily Heil. Treat whatever garbage they print with the contempt it deserves.

7. Anti immigration is a left wing policy tbf. Bring up wages and workers in the uk rather than cheap overseas labour.

8. I hate how much the media in this country Spins things and headlines to suit them

9. > Lewisham councillor says he left Labour because the party has ‘ramped up deportations and aped the far-right with anti-immigrant rhetoric’

   I get the anti-immigrant rhetoric but wtf is it with Green Party members and being against the deportations of foreign criminals?

10. Why is this post allowed??

    As per the sub rules, articles cannot be older than one month, this article is about a councilor who defected in 2023…

11. so sick of all these idiots that think immigration needing to be controlled and illegals and criminals needing to be deported as far right.

12. If I vote for you under a certain banner and then you switch paties; that should be an immediate bi election.
