Former Conservatives leadership contender SamGyimah has defected to the LibDems

Mr Gyimah was this month effectively expelled from the Conservatives along with 20 of his colleagues, having the party whip removed after voting against the government on Brexit.

Conservative whips recently offered a route back into the party fold for the 21 rebels by writing to each of them to set out an appeals process. But Ms Swinson rejected his proposal, telling Mr Gyimah, as he recalled:"I'm in the business of creating Lib Dem MPs, not offering Conservatives a way back."

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems So he stood at the last election on a manifesto to deliver Brexit.

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson This isn’t about ‘a political party’ anymore. The next GE will be about leave or remain. This will be about democracy, the belief in it, why we pay our taxes and why we get up in the morning to go to work. The very foundation each & everyone of our lives is built on. Brexit

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson Imagine this woman in the same room as Putin or Kim Jong and try to imagine any scenario in which she wins. Sorry, I just do not see her as a prime minister. Its not sexism, Thatcher was nicknamed the Iron Lady for a reason. Its a personality thing.

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson Looking forward to the election when all of these ‘defectors’ constituents actually get their democratic right to make their feelings known...given that they voted for a conservative candidate and ended up with a L Democrat purely because their MP decided to vote for themselves

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson Is stealing seats legal in Westminster ?

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson Always looks like a sixth form head girl.

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson It’s funny how they defect rather than resign - self serving

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson WHEN ARE GOING TO SPEAK UP ABOUT THIS? SURELY EVEN SKY REALISES THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. It may be legal, but its completely wrong for so many MPs to deceive the electorate. WHEN WILL SKY SUPPORT THE PUBLIC IN DEMANDING THEY DO THT DECENT THING? OR IS SKY CORRUPT TOO?

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson It is ok Boris I got him still a blue at heart.

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson Tories in Sheep Clothing

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson No shame....

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson So presumably there will be a by-election so the constituents can vote for the person/party they want. All this party swapping is ridiculous and anyone who does so should immediately have to re-contest the seat.

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson Why there should be by election ppl voted for him on being a Tory

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems the swamp continues to be drained. One more gone

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems Translation: lifelong Lib Dem who took the Tory whip to fulfil his own personal ambitions - jumps ship - when actual Tories start to regain control of the party and question why he’s totally at odds with their manifesto.

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson 😱😱😱😱 Another who wanted to be Conservative leader. Does Jo Swine think they’ll all sit around letting her tell them what to think...great wet lettuce.

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson The lie dems don't need elections they just get disloyal MPs from other party's the defect...these MPs have no respect for the voters , The voters did' t vote for the lie dems they voted for other party's, who trust a disloyal MP ....?

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson Like a new £80,000,000 signing

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson The challenge for Sam Gyimah is to deliver a ‘I’ve been on a personal journey and now see the light’ speech. I haven’t heard his speech yet, but that’s what he has to do. Otherwise it’s stretching credibility a bit.

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson Is she trying to avoid an election by getting a majority ?

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson Looking forward to seeing if Swinson gets back in. Folk are not happy she pays zero attention to her constituents anymore.

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson The media love the Torys even the yellow Torys and they didnt mind the Red Torys and off course recently they have pushed the boat out to show their love for the Ultra Torys. Woa unto those who are not Torys.

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson Sam who? Is this worthy of news? A politician who’s had the whip removed facing de-selection , he’ll be out of a job soon and we’ll never see him politics again!

Conservatives SamGyimah LibDems joswinson So, he was thrown out of the Conservative Party for voting against said party. He then decided that he liked being on the public payroll so much that he became a member of the Liberal Democratic Party Even though the 2 parties have little in common? The UK needs an election.
