Am still at work so I do not know how the exam of my son has gone.
When it comes to politics, Labour have welcomed a member of the right wing ERG into the ranks with the defection of Natalie Elphicke, the MP for Dover. She is famed for defending her then husband who has been in jail for sexual assault (she has now apologised for this), as well as her comments about Marcus Rashford (she has also apologised for this) who worked successfully to have children fed during the pandemic (as well as a reaction to her comments).
I have to be honest, if someone told me about her and that she was to defect, I would have thought that she would have joined Reform like Lee Anderson.
Quite rightly, people are now talking about how Diane Abbott should be readmitted to the party, and others have said the same about Jeremy Corbyn. The bottom line is that if we are to forgive Natalie Elphicke for her previous views and comments, we should do the same with other MP's who share much more in common with Labour than a reformed Conservative.
