Aimee Challenor welcomed into the Lib Dems

Anyone is entitled to change political party.

Indeed. I was in Labour for 40 years until they appointed the clown-in-chief as leader and decided that misogyny and anti-semitism were their new raison d'etre.

Now I'm a member of the 'no party represents me and my values at all ' party.

I keep thinking about Lisa Muggeridge on institutional grooming and how few infiltrators it takes to do it. You'd have thought that if there were any common sense left at LibDem HQ, they would have rejected this membership application, wouldn't you?

Anyone is entitled to change political party.

Sigh and a bitter LOL.

As we predicted on this thread: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3375843-Failed-1st-transwoman-MP-hopeful-stamps-out-in-huff-on-losing-election

Will Sophie do the same thing?!

I thought Nick Clegg was a massive sell out but he was Churchillian compared to the rabble that has continued in his wake.

Is there any other characteristic someone could have where their actions and behaviour are thereby unquestionable?

This is brilliant.

Love it. Can't see Zoe O'Connell and Sarah Brown will welcome any powersharing in their fiefdom.

I suspect that they will manipulate AC to convey information that the other two can then distance themselves from. AC will be none the wiser of course.

Agree with dolorsit. I think Aimee Challenor is absolutely entitled to join another party - it’s whether the Libdems allow Aimee the kind of platform they enjoyed with the Greens that will be interesting.

What was that old black and white film again when the town children had psychic power a the power to kill by thought?

I reminds me of that. Say the right thing. Think the right thing. Never look them in the eye and never call her a him even if he has his bits on display.

Wasn't there an old joke about a servent who walked into a bedroom of a grand house and saw a female guest naked. He said 'Apologies, sir'... And backed out.

So not only are they involved in all the dubiousness of whatever went on in their house but they also have the morals of a rat.

Surely if you’re in a political party you’re in it for a reason? That that particular party has values, etc you believe in. That you don’t jump ship into another party within a couple of weeks. Would make me think they don’t give a shit about the Lib Dem policies, etc but are happy to use any party who will host them to use as a platform for their own advancement. Very low.

I hope so

There must be a fair bit of 'what the fuck' panic behind those rictus grins of welcome in the tweets of LibDem MPs...

Challenor's. Stupid autocorrect.

The lib dems who until recently were led by a man who couldn't say gay sex was not a sin?

Right up Challenges alley.

Yy needs I am horrified at the lack of due diligence political parties in this country are demonstrating at the moment, from placing emotionally and mentally fragile people into positions for which they are massively under qualified just to seem “inclusive”, to this. AC is under investigation and has demonstrated extremely concerning judgment. Not someone I’d want to be in a position of any power, and I’m fairly certain no one born female would be scooped up with such relish and alacrity.
All very alarming.

I'd have been more worried if Aimee had joined Labour. They are daft enough to put someone like that up for election in a safe seat.

I don't think the Lib Dems can automatically bar someone from joining.

It will be interesting to see if the Lib dems give AC any authority to speak on their behalf.

^ my last post was to AsAProfessionalFekko

I think it's a reflection of the result of the kind of upbringing Aimee had

WTF are the Lib Dems thinking? Where are the responsible adults to say that perhaps Aimee should take a step back from politics for a while?

Thank you

Can they exist if they are not in the public eye? What drives people like that? It's like talentless reality TV folks or not very successful pop stars who can't fart without tipping off the paparazzi to get attention.

It's an illness surely?

Due diligence!

Let's also remember that Aimee's mum and chums outed the identity of the 10 year old raped and tortured by her husband, David.
