Natalie Elphicke said Labour can’t be trusted and doesn’t listen. She said the victim of her husband’s sexual assault was a liar even after he was convicted.
Does she really share Labour values?
Starmer: “I’m delighted to welcome Natalie Elphicke to my changed Labour Party!”
Presupposes such a thing as "Labour Values" exist any more. Since the dumping of Clause 4 constitutional "modernising" I don't see any values at all that aren't just tailing predominant neoliberal orthodoxy. I am struggling to come to up with anything.
Whether they ever existed in any real sense I'm personally sceptical of, but that's another conversation.
@elmussol Fair comment, although, I should have made it clear that the words in my post preceding Starmer's response were actually put to him as a question by an ITV reporter (I paraphrased a little).
