You didn't vote for a ceasefire. You voted for a humanitarian pause

[stevenphillips]

It was a great pleasure to vote against her.

[GScully]

She can't accept the blame is on her, not someone else.

[jamescoole]

Thanks for confirming I was right to vote for Carla, Thangam.

[italgong]

"We know how to handle Parliament" - i.e. smothering SNP and getting Hoyle to support you. Come on, stop talking rubbish

[wilfredsterling]

To compare the play book of the greens to reform is a total and utter smear. She herself knowingly or unknowingly is playing dirty. It's like a bitter tantrum because her ambitions haven't been met. She really demonstrated how sorry she felt for herself.

[joeavreg]

"The Greens told people what I did and then they didn't vote for me! That's what fascists do!"

[crayontom]

Arrogant and offensive. Doesn’t bode well

[janehaywardchina]

Good to see this, thanks Dalia and Novara. I was also outside parliament for that ceasefire vote, and looked up Thangam Debbonaire's vote afterwards - she was my MP. I joined the Green Party soon afterwards. Her claim that her constituents just fell for whatever the Greens said on their leaflets is garbage.

[magansingodia]

Shame on you for not accepting that people did not want you as their representative, an other nail on the coffin for respect of politicians. Greens had the right policy to adhere to international laws unlike Labour

[mobsiesixsixsix]

and this is yet another reason why I couldn't vote for Starmers Labour. Imagine lying about the Greens and Reform using the same playbook.

[briancapaloff]

What an obnoxious, arrogant liar she comes over as.

[gjoe]

She lost her seat because she was OK with Genocide. 👎

[AndrewSmith-fdfi]

Less than 90 seconds in and she's the one lying, 'Handle' Parliament by subverting established procedure by blackmailing the speaker of the house, disgusting and shameful may she never return to politicis.

[jeremylawrence]

The electorate voted for the right candidate!

[laurenceegan]

Saw the name and thought she was a Tory, heard her explanation and still think she's a Tory.

[MarkPMus]

Labour accuses other parties of lying! Hello I live in a glass house and I throw stones!

[nlewin]

Wow, a minute in and she's claiming her party voted for a ceasefire and 'knew how to handle Parliament'. The fact is that they had months to table a motion and didn't, then when the SNP got the chance to, Labour's shenanigans and Hoyle's complicity served to break protocol and for an amendment before the vote, scuppering the SNP's vote and claiming it for themselves. Even the Tories were appalled at Labour.

[shaunmiller]

You got beaten because you’re not a very good MP

[doofernz]

Cool story. Have arm sales been stopped yet?
No? Hardly sounds like lies...
