She launched a crowdfunding thing for a leadership campaign that never happened. Questions were asked at the time and I wondered if it was ever announced what she did with people's money.
Are youtrying to insinuate that she just ploughed the lot into her own hidden bank account overseas ?

If so I agree.

Blimey.
Another difference between Tories and Labourist MP's, with the former we know what it's been spent on but not where they got it from, with the latter it's the other way round........ :lol:

I was wondering what happens to crowdfunded money if the cause shuts down.
Now I know in this case at least- it goes to the labour party.

Like what?
A desperation for power?
An ability to find a camera and microphone wherever she is?
Her ability to turn every issue to being all about her?
Or maybe that comment how she would 'Stab Corbyn in the front'?
Or perhaps most sickeningly for Labour voters watching her on camera seemingly celebrating Labour losing seats at the 2019 GE?

If there is 'something ' about her then I sure as hell don't want it!

TBH I don't think I've really noticed her anywhere since 2019 when she almost did but didn't try and run for party leader.

Can't imagine why Starmer wants nothing to do with this crank. And look at the company he keeps.

If Corbyn's the politician you hate the most, then quite frankly you're an amateur politician hater, considering the man has never had any proper power.

Labour MP suspended over bullying allegations
Neath MP Christina Rees has been suspended from Labour following reported allegations of bullying.

The politician, who has represented the constituency since 2015, has lost the party whip pending an investigation.

It means the former shadow Welsh secretary will sit in the Commons as an independent. The Guardian said Ms Rees faces allegations of bullying staff.

Ms Rees told the newspaper she was cooperating fully with the investigation.

The Guardian reported the move followed complaints by staff working for her in her south Wales constituency. Labour has declined to comment.


...................


She told the Guardian: "There has been a complaint made against me to the Labour Party, which is under investigation and I am therefore under an administrative suspension until the process is concluded. I'm not aware of the details of the complaint but I am fully cooperating with the investigation."

Labour MP resigns over sexual misconduct
Labour MP Christian Matheson has resigned after a parliamentary watchdog recommended he be suspended for "serious sexual misconduct".

Two allegations of sexual misconduct against Mr Matheson by a former member of his staff have been upheld.

He allegedly invited her on a private trip abroad, according to the report.

The MP for Chester admitted he had committed a minor breach of the code and tendered his resignation with "great sadness".

The Independent Expert Panel parliamentary watchdog had recommended the Labour MP was suspended from the Commons for four weeks for "serious sexual misconduct".

According to the report, the invitation for the trip abroad "was sexually motivated, unwanted, and had placed the complainant under pressure and intimidated her".

During a work event outside Parliament, he also "linked arms with her and made personal comments about her appearance while looking at her suggestively".
By-election incoming.
