The fact that she blamed the Tory defeat on things like not scrapping the human rights act is spectacularly ignorant. What a useless politician she truly was. Fuckity bye.
Didn't she lose it to the party that's even further right though? Not from the UK, just what I understood from another conversation...
I think what they meant is the votes that made the difference went to the further rightwing party, making her lose
Oh that's probably it! Thanks
According to the article, she was beaten by someone from Labour.
Yeah, someone else clarified that people were probably talking about the vote split going further right making her lose her seat, it wasn't people voting labour instead of conservative.
She can go eat a whole bag of spotted dicks.
Lettuce pray for her
Goodbye to the least self aware person in politics. I wonder if this will get through her thick skull or whether she'll pin it on leftists and the deep state?
By the sound of it, you already know the answer to that.
The lettuce wins again?
I hate her so much. Looking forward to watching her eat a severed dick on I'm a celebrity to try and stay relevant.
It amazes me that she nonetheless came so close to keeping her seat. Who voted for her?
I don’t like how it was a labour landslide. I hoped it would be more balanced with the tories getting fewer seats than green if any.
Fewer seats than green would mean under 4 seats. We can dream I guess
Her constituency are more anti Labour than they hate her. For them it was begrudgingly vote her still for the same if conservatism or move onto reform. Owen Jones did a video where he went there to talk to the public. Some of them were crazy.
Interesting. Thank you.
Edit: Is this the video?

That guy knows what's up.
That's the one!
I think JRM going is up there too.
yeah moggie is much worse than this trumpette
Quite sure that nobody will be missing her.
The star of a BLT is never the lettuce. If it is, ugh.
