Carol Vorderman is 'fuming' with the Labour Party | LBC 

Labour refused to let Jamie Driscoll stand to be a Mayor on the alleged ground that they have very high standards ... and then we have this!

Bring back Sangita. Justice for Sangita.

Labour/Tory, whats the difference? - we are about to exchange one set of political grifters for another - time for PR

I was wobbling on Labour for a long time. This did it for me. I torn my Labour membership and decided to join the Lib Dems and will be voting for them. I hope that me being a member can represent a working class voice and reclaim ownership on what is seen as traditionally "Labour" policies like more council/social housing, ending right to buy, bringing rail into public ownership, and workplace democracy/workers co-partnerships with their employer.

You're lucky you to have someone as brilliant as Carol, LBC. It's a shame what you did to Sangita.

Anyone who had any faith in Starmer as a man of principle was already deluded or hasn't been paying attention. How did you miss his headlong rush to dump all previous policy promises, anyone with even slightly left views and charge to the right? Elphicke is just the obvious symptom of the sickness when Abbott is still out.

Keir is letting us know that he’s happy to embrace both corruption and morally reprehensible figures.

Im a working class man,in the local elections , for the first time in my life, i didnt vote labour. , as they simply dont represent me, they are just the tory party with a red tie ,they should not accept an MP who has been complicit in the most corrupt government we've ever had,, after this i rest my case, , where is the morality, its so disappointing. , i voted green by the way

Kier always looked, sounded and acted like a Tory, always thought he'd defect to be honest

Welcome to the real world Carol. Starmer has zero principles and I won't be voting Labour for 1st time. Where is Sangita Myska ??

She is the last straw for me, the Labour Party is no longer a socialist party, it no longer represents my views, they are now Red Tory's and I am out. Not to the Tory's of course, I'm seriously disappointed, I'm not mad. Sadly I'm not sure what is left, not a lot, that's for sure.

In similar news, Listeners are fuming with LBC over lack of Sangita Myska and transparency surrounding her removal.

Starmer ensured all the checks were carried out into Elphicke's history and couldn't find anything even slightly left wing about her and not a wiff of socialism. So she passes with flying colours. Welcome to Starmers Labour Party

I agree, Carol. This woman doesn't belong in politics at all.

I personally find it amusing that Carol has been so naive as to believe the Labour Party were innocent 😇? 🤣🤣🤣

Starmer tell her to become an independent as you are not that desperate,have a backbone man.

Know how you feel Carol, the way LBC treated award winning, audience growing Sangita Myska has disappointed me too

Have been saying for a long time that Kier is not anybody I could ever vote for and was poo-pooed and told I was just allowing the tories back in power. Well centrists, the penny is finally dropping isn't it but you've made the bed for us haven't you.

Kier Starmer is being Kier Starmer. This is consistent with the last 4 years in Labour politics. Anyone who thinks he is offering anything other than Tory continuity government has not been paying attention.

Possibly why so many people have lost faith in politics of every stripe. "Here are my principles. If you don´t like them I have others." What exactly does Labour stand for now?

Can I point out that Robert Buckland's story means he is either lying now to the Mail and made this story up. Or he was dishonest at the time by with holding that information from the inquiry. What an own goal by the tories. "We are all dishonest". This story is actually seriously damaging to Bucklands credibility. I dont support Labour welcoming Elphinstone but I understand the short term gain and decision. But all Labour MP's need to point out now is that Buckland is dishonest then or now. There is no other way.

Who in their right mind ever had any faith in Keir Starmer?

How can any of these people still walk around and a) not be completely embarrassed!?? And b) not be shun by their peers?

Lock Buckland up. Labour have now lost my vote. I have now lost faith in Kier Starmer due to this.

There's NO-zero-negative politician that cares one flying hoot about what civilians think.

You won't get decent and honest politics with starmer. Dont vote Labour.

We have had more than enough of right wing Tory politicians,; there is no place in theory for this person to be in the Labour Party. No way would I ever vote for Labour under Keir Starmer.

I was undecided whether or not to vote for Labour but this has convinced me not too

Elphic is the new labourtory party. It's a one party system in Britain now .

Labour not Labour it's 2nd Conservative

I’m with you Carol, I’m with Jess too… The whole” thing stinks. To BEAT anyone at ANYTHING you just need to be better. Starmer by falling to their levels and playing the same old, well worm political games has PROVEN what many of us have ALWAYS thought of him… A man who can show integrity and decency is FAR MORE LIKELY to carry people with him. Starmer has ZERO integrity, the man’s a FRAUD, it’s just MORE if the SAME and we REALLY deserve BETTER, particularly after 14 years of pure idiocy. Elphicke is a narcissist, quite possibly a true sociopath and Starmer would have been wise to “hold talks” and then out her at PMQs, letting EVERYONE know Labour are ABOVE such SH1TE. It stinks, Starmer stinks IMO and for the first time in my life I shall have to hold my nose when giving my vote, I’d rather vote GREEN if they had the numbers to go forward. Starmer is taking the Polling Leads for granted, Taking US for granted (as the Local Election Muslim votes proved). He’s arrogant and although he will be PM he needs to be wiser and show a little more NOUS.

The fact that anyone who has faith in Keith Starver has a radio show in the UK should scare us all. Mind you it's Leading Britain's Censorship.!

If Buckland felt so compromised why has he waited until now to speak out? Because it’s behaviour he might expect from a Tory but now she’s crossed to Labour it comprises their higher standards of behaviour?

Bad bad move. I am a lifelong Labour voter. 40 years plus. Horrendous woman. Get her out. I agree wholeheartedly with you. Tories out, but I will watch my party and expect them to deliver.

I don't believe in political tribalism. And I want to see Labour dismantle the Conservative Party one minister at a time until Sunak finally calls for a general election.

Never did I believe Starmer was anything but someone who is only interested in himself and very much like the Tories....welcoming them into the party with open arms, Elphicke is a wrong un. Bring back Corbyn. Not even tactical voting can help us, hoped it would. We're doomed. You mark my words, I've repeatedly said this since Starmer showed his face.

Remember when Carol was well in with the Tory party? Hypocrite

Makes you wonder if Starmer gets all his advice from Murdoch.

if this isn't an indication to vote liberal democrat or green I don't know what is

And they spent three weeks trying to bury Angela Raynor! We must question Starmer's judgement (yet again).

End all food and drink deliveries into the Borough of Westminster. Stop feeding the beast.

Tories out

I’m absolutely convinced he’s totally aware of what she is.. but is using it to make a statement about clueless Rishi..

Carol, you must feel foolish now then after championing Labour so much?

Get ready for a Purple Tory government larping as a Labour governement. We tried to tell you...

Why cross the floor but say you are not standing at the next election. Pointless !!!!

I totally agree with you.

If Natalie Elphicke has joined Labour then some Tory voters might vote Labour as well.

Anyone who had an ounce of faith in Labour party need has a mental issue!

You've backed the wrong horse Carole

I am horrified that this woman is in parliament, and I am further horrified that Labour has accepted her! It's disgusting

Don't despair - Lord Cameron assured Laura K this morning that he is relieved by the defection, and that The Plan is working.

she kept his name. that says it all

Carol can you please do us all a favour and put yourself on the road to becoming 1st sane PM iv ever would of seen in my 43 years !

I totally agree with Carol, but i have since been told she is stepping down at next GE, so does it matter in the long run? Although letting people like her joining our party

Need tories out so no choice. Reform is disturbing

We're Closer to having a one party state (we do already, tbh).

Stammer are you mad ,yes I agree with you Carol it's unfathomable that this woman is excepted into the Labour party what the back is he thinking .

Think Carol forgets she was not long ago a big cheer leader for David Cameron.

does he still not know what a woman is yet?!?!?

I think it a huge mistake if anyone judges the Labour Party and Keir Starmer over this. Even bigger mistake to not vote Labour because of this. There is no doubt that Elphicke has espoused completely unacceptable views which make her unfitting to have any impact whatsoever on Labour Policy. Luckily, or rather more likely by intention (Starmer’s, most likely) she cannot do that. She is not standing at the next election and there is no way she can impact Labour policy - except in one area which is housing. In this area she has considerable experience and has views which have a huge overlap with Labour policy. She can be useful to Labour and on balance it may well have been a benefit overall to pursue that especially with the added benefit of creating more disarray for the Tories. However that benefit can easily erode if people start saying that this proves Starmer is right wing and cannot be trusted. It’s nonsense. Maybe he is right wing, which I very much doubt, but this doesn’t even get close to proving it. Tactical voting is the way forward whatever happens and I am grateful to you Carol for being such a champion for it. You vote for which party is best placed to get the Tory out. It’s that simple in this election. If you don’t, you help this party which has wreaked such havoc minimise damage. If Starmer is as bad as some say he will not be as bad as these Tories. No way! People say there’s no difference between Labour and Tory policy. Absolute garbage. I can list 20 policies really quickly that are hugely different from Tories and more if pressed. We could have Labour in power with LibDems as Opposition and a few Greens hopefully continuing Caroline Lucas’s impeccable example in Parliament. With Tories third and completely without influence. Isn’t that something to fight for? Let’s not get caught up in this non-issue as Elphicke can never influence Labour policy. If Starmer is as bad as some on the far left say then there is going to be more chance to pressure him from the left with few Tories around with zero power.

Faith in Starmer. Who has ever had that to be fair. Whats Starmer going to do with Streeting.

100% agree Carol, Starmer is listening to the wrong people allowing Elphicke in, but keeping Diane Abbott out.

Even Michael Fabricant couldn't believe it as she is so horribly right wing

If this is what it has taken for anyone to question Starmers credentials to lead the Labour party, then they just haven't been paying attention.

Spot on Carol! I am disgusted that Labour has done this and he is starting to divide people. Ms Elthick has done nothing for the people of Dover, she’s a hopeless mp and now THIS!

Who cares what some past-it minor celebrity says in a desperate attempt to stay in the public eye.

13:50 Can these radio hosts just let people speak. Don’t interrupt her before she has even finished her first point! It really annoys me!

Carol Witch Vorderman So Desperate For Labour To Get In Power Is Laughable 😂😂😂

She had any faith in the backstabbing, flipflopping Starmer?

I'd advise Starmer to remove the whip from her or suspend it pending further investigation if he wants to regain credibility

You could vote 'Reform' Carol Vordman

A vote for the Green's is a vote for the Tories - just remember that!

Wake up and smell the Coffee Carol. Shes just jumping into the next party to gain advantage

I lost faith in Starmer when he, as a former human rights lawyer, ordered his MPs to abstain on a vote on human rights legislation, i lost faith in him when he in essence told the labour members who had signed up under Corbyn to get lost. He's a red Tory, plain and simple, we'll be on course back to New Labour again.

I am a lifelong labour supporter, thinking winning a possible (unlikely) few votes from the right at the cost of many (likely) from labour is ridiculous. Through Kier's (in my opinion) dreadful leadership I have been determined to hold my nose and still vote labour because of my hatred of the tories, now I have to choose between hatred and principle, I may not even vote now. I am tearing myself apart now. Horrendously naive decision.

Why do we keep electing party leaders who hate the party?

...not being middle class..Labour is not the party for me.

Don't get me wrong if I was drawing up a list of Tory MP's I dislike at the start of last week Natalie Elphicke would be right up there with the worst of them and I don't see she adds anything to the Labour party and I don't personally like her any more as a result. However, the big knock on Starmer is he is boring and safe... Whatever you think of Elphicke this isn't a safety first nor a boring move!

Yes, Labour have harmed themselves by accepting her, but it’s nowhere near as damaging as it is for the Tories.

Horrified and disgusted.

MPs should not be allowed to cross the floor, should be a by-election.

Absolutely ridiculous! What on earth is Starmer thinking? How can he accept this woman into the Labour Party? His decisions, especially regarding Israel's right to defend itself and the utter carnage that followed, is shameful and both politically disgusting and utterly heartless. Starmer is making some awful decisions whilst we need a moral, brave leader to distance Labour light miles away from the Tory party. Bring back Jess Phillips now.

carol vorderman should be fuming with her own bosses at LBC after what they did to Sangita Myska!

How can Starmer be taken seriously as an agent for change when he displays such astonishingly poor judgement. Should such a man really be considered as a man with the necessary qualities to lead the UK? Or is he just as useless and devoid of talent as the offerings on the other side?

Thanks. Also, bring back Sangita. LBC is disreputable for the way that they got rid of her.

Honestly, but late if you just lost hope in Kier. What about all the "Israel does have that right" and every other abominable statement since?

The UK is finished when Starmers Islamic front party gain power

Yes i completely agree, totally unnecessary and hugely disappointing...

Carol used to be a staunch tory too.

💯% They need to kick her out!!! Her first statement she mentioned with Labour dealing with the "small boats". Kick her out or Starmer also needs to go!

Elphick, Raynor, and Abbott, Labour's dream team!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This woman is either incredibly naïve about the Labour party under Starmer, or is deceiving people about her views to self promote.

Andy Brigeden is the only MP speaking out and is making sense to me rite about now.

I dont think she will be there long

Yes Carol I agree With You! Entirely

Kier Starmer couldn’t play a blinder if his life depended on it

Irrespective of Buckland's claims .Elphicke has proved herself to be on the far right and less than the sharpest tool in the box. How could Starmer possibly think that she would be an asset to Labour if he were not a Tory with a red rosette?

Starmer thinks he is clever - he is not. We now have a uniparty. What really is the difference?

bring back Sangita..
