Tells you all you need to know about Keith's Labour https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68913287 It's the second one this Parliament, and the other one's re-standing. Christian Wakeford crossed the floor a few years ago with a Union Flag face covering. In the two years he and Lee Anderson were both Conservative MPs, I doubt they'd have disagreed about anything. But hey, according to Starmer's strategy that counts as 'detoxifying' the party brand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I believe he was the minister who sold the country’s supply of blood plasma to a private firm. He also envisages an advisory role within Labour on health matters after the election. Very reassuring for everyone laughing at the cranks who think Labour won’t privatise more health services.

Paid Members Boycie Posted April 27 Paid Members Share Posted April 27 Dan Poulter doesn't live far from me. He's not my MP though a friend of mine lives in his constituency and can't stand the guy. Very much a 'wherever the wind blows' type apparently. Doesn't have any real principles so should be just at home in Labour as he was with the Tories.

Fog Dude Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Most of the area Poulter represents actually has a local council run by the Green Party, so maybe there's hope that seat will go for a more radical option at the general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted April 27 Paid Members Share Posted April 27 Is he the bloke who sang that Bad Day song in 2005? I always wondered what happened to him after his music career. I didn't think it would be this if I'm honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno. He holds a 23k majority so it’s pretty unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fog Dude Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Powter was Canadian and I don't think the MP in question quite has the same accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald J Trump Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I like him. He was good in "We're the Millers" and has really established himself as one of the brightest up and coming actors in recent years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only difference between Canada and Suffolk/Ipswich is that there are more mooses in Ipswich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
