Even worse:
I almost wished she had stayed in Labour party so her local membership could de select her.
Anyone who thinks of voting for DUP or a party Farage is leader of is a Union Jack waving nationalist.
Its appaling that someone who was an MP for inner city London can even think of voting for parties like DUP or Brexit party.
In fact she epitomises what DUP/ Brexit party are all about.
Flag waving Nationalism.

She has been using her twitter to support BLM in one way. Posting pictures of British soldiers killed by IRA who happened to be Black.
This is nonsense. Whatever one thinks of IRA they killed British soldiers because they were in British Army. Not because they were Black.

I was clearing out stuff on weekend. Found an old SLP with Kate Hoey piece.
She was a very good constituency MP and not New Labour. A thorn in the side of New Labour.
New Labour embraced the market and multiculturalism. Hoey came from Northern Ireland Unionist background. The middle class metropolitan elites who ran Labour party in Blair time had nothing in common with her.
This was her strength and weakness.
Brexit came along and she went off on one. From sticking up for her constituents against a New Labour Council she allowed her ingrained Unionist sympathies full reign.
This I will never understand.Someone who listened and stuck up for those she represented ( and I know several people who got personal phone calls from her. She didnt delegate to staff like Tessa Jowell did) She refused to listen to them on Brexit. Overwhelming pro Remain seat.

It would appear from Stanford University's department of Political Philosophy that Kate Hoey's mode of representation was GYROSCOPIC
In contrast, Jane Mansbridge has identified four views of democratic political representation: promissory, anticipatory, surrogate and gyroscopic. Mansbridge argues that each of these views provides an account of both how democratic political representatives "act for" the people they represent and the normative criteria for assessing the actions of representatives.[7] Promissory representation is a form of representation in which representatives are chosen and assessed based on the promises they make to the people they represent during election campaigns. For Mansbridge, promissory representation, preoccupied with how representatives are chosen (authorized) and held to account through elections, is the traditional view of democratic political representation. Anticipatory, surrogate and gyroscopic representation, on the other hand, are more modern views that have emerged from the work of empirical political scientists. Anticipatory representatives take actions that they believe voters (the represented) will reward in the next election. Surrogaterepresentation occurs when representatives "act for" the interest of people outside their constituencies. Finally, in gyroscopic representation, representatives use their own judgements to determine how and for what they should act for on behalf of the people they represent.[1]

I do take your point about her as a constituency MP she was not bad, but she was always a Unionist loonspud, I remember a hustings from 2010, possibly 2005, when there were Irish candidates for at least 2 of the other parties and the Chair made a joke about how many Irish candidates there were fighting in the seat and KH loudly (and in no way as a joke) interrupted and said "I'M BRITISH". Cue quite lengthy embarrassed silence.

I see newly ennobled Baroness Hoey now sits with Baroness Claire Fox on the back row in the Lords.
Both banging on about the necessity to break the Good Friday Agreement because of the massive number of Brits who voted for Brexit.
Unfortunately even if they get rid of Trump in America we are still lumbered with these two Shrews until they die - courtesy of our unelected upper chamber.

Fair enough - but being derided as a Woke snowflake by the likes of these ladies gets a bit wearing on Facebook and Twitter.
Where's the justice and/or good taste in that?

I was going to - but I let Claire Fox off because of her RCP background.

Looking at her recent Twitter:
Looking at her twitter one would not think she had been a Labour MP for an inner London constituency for years.
Its like now she is in the Lords she can now be her real self.
- Biden is a friend of terrorists
- BLM is unpatriotic
- She seems to have something against the Good Friday agreement.

It was a disgraceful sellout that betrayed the martyrs, only the gun will being about Irish unity.
Eamonn McCann has a nice story about her turning up at a leading provo's doorstep after they'd agreed to it and demanding to talk to him, to tell him why he was wrong. His response was surprisingly anglo-saxon.
(Oops, just realised this is the Kate host thread not the rcp one. The idea of hoey decrying the gfa as a sellout to unionists is...amusing)

Tbf, she did assist somewhat when I was on the housing waiting list for ages. Placed bids after bids on property and never getting even a viewing. I wrote to her and within a week got a response back saying contact has been made with lambeth. I then got a call from lambeth housing to discuss options etc. it wasn't long after that that I got a viewing and got my own council flat-which I love. This was over 6 years ago. Not sure if her intervention helped or not (probably not) but the fact that it got lambeth to call me was appreciated.

She helped a near neighbour get their house as well. But this doesn’t validate her political views in any way.

Her views on housing are part and parcel of her political view.
Looking at her voting record. She supports NHS and generally is on what would be considered on the left.
She is no Tory.
This is mixed in with what could be termed patriotic nationalism. But she thinks those in the National state should get decent housing and healthcare for example. She also opposed the Iraq war and has no time for Blair.
She reminds me of Trump in some ways.
Make UK great again with Brexit, anti BLM.
But she is genuine in her desire to see people have decent living standards.
She didnt join in trying to get rid of Corbyn either.
