Labour insists no place for Nigel Farage in party after defection of right-wing MP

Asked if Mr Farage would be welcome if he wanted to join Labour, Ms Dodds said: "Nigel Farage is someone who is well outside any kind of Labour values.

“He has proven that time and time and time again.”

She said the former Brexit leader and Ms Elphicke are not comparable, as Mr Farage is “someone whose values are completely inimical to the Labour Party”.

“I think in what Natalie Elphicke has set out today she’s very clearly shown she is very concerned about the issues that both Labour MPs are concerned about and Labour members, and indeed many Labour voters,” Ms Dodds said.

“She’s very concerned about the impact of that lack of delivery of housing on people up and down our country.”

Jackthelad,

How is this even a story?

In what world is Farage ever going to want to join Labour?

What?!?! Nigel, the Muscovite paid agent who drove the UK into ground thanks to BREXIT wants to join the Labour Party? As the Brits say, Sod off (loser)!

So Farage is in the same league as Corbyn then?

Elphicke seems even further right than Farage IMO.

Hell, I don’t remember Farage ever attacking rape victims.

SouthEndSunset,

What are the Labour Party principles?

How different are they to Farages or Truss?

apis,

To win.

Can’t do dick if you’re not in power.

We can kick off at them if they retain Tory policies.

Though at this point, less full tilt far-right & corrupt would be a massive fucking improvement.

SouthEndSunset,

I’d just like it if they’d come up with a manifesto and stick to it…

But we’ll see …

apis,

Same & doubt we’re alone.

Wes Streeting also ruled out Liz Truss joining.

Interesting question, though: would they accept Humza Yousaf? The people must be told!

Mrkawfee,

Wrong skin pigment for Labour.

ID411,

This has to be The Onion ??

Double-checks… Nope. It is just a sad reflection of the times we live in.
