Will losing the whip hurt him in any way? Will he just get it back for apologising? I'm so fed up of lefty progressive men getting away with abusing women.

Last time I looked he was Barry’s boyfriend in Eastenders 🤷🏼‍♀️

He’s vile. Hope he’s out of Labour for good

Yes I know what happened. But will losing the whip matter to him? It hurts MPs for eg they may not be able to stand at next election but what does that matter to a life peer?

It should mean he will lose the benefits of a party affiliation. Things like access to support, research, press support and other parts of a political machine.

It presumably means he.won't have a role in the incoming labour government. But I doubt that was going to happen anyway.

The contempt that men hold for women never fails to take my breath away.

I know, NAMALT. But enough of them fucking are, and here’s another fucker. It’s so tiring.

Thankyou @Underthinker (I can't just do the thank thing as I use the crappy app).

I read about this , please can someone tell me what 'frit'means ?

It's just slang for "frightened".

'Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer told reporters the comment was "particularly inappropriate" and the whip was withdrawn "very swiftly".
This means Lord Cashman will sit as a crossbench peer in the House of Lords, without a party affiliation.'

Crossbenchers are peers who either had no party affiliation when they were enobled or who have resigned their party whip without joining another party. Peers who lose the whip are unaffiliated.

Did Starmer actually say Rosie Duffield's name or was that a bridge too far...

He tweeted that Rosie Duffield was 'Frit or lazy' because she didn't go to hustings for reasons of her own security. On the anniversary of Jo Cox's murder.

What did he tweet? I can't find it

Imnobody4 · 17/06/2024 21:54

Wouldn't be surprised if he joins the Lib Dems or Greens.
