She was the chair of the Countryside Alliance for about ten years - the huntin', shootin', fishin' mob. Could you get more Tory?

They replayed the debate this morning on BBC Parliament.
To be fair Kate Hoey's contribution was run of the mill Unionist (DUP)
The really obnoxious speech, which made me riled originally was from Claire Fox.
In retrospect I think she was given a Baronetcy to avoid giving one to Nigel Farage - or even worse Richard Oakshott Tice.
At least Fox can claim to be some sort of moral maze shock jock, whereas Farage and even more so Tice are outright fascists.

Living in Lambeth and it is not so straightforward.
Kate was to the the left of the Lambeth New Labour Council on issues like Council housing.
New Labour Lambeth was "progressive" on say BLM.
So a Neo Liberal New Labour Council can appear to be not "Tory" on some issues. But economicallly its accepts the idea that the only way is accomodating to globalised Capitalism. As seen in Hondo Towers.
So imo this New Labour lot are with the Cameron type Tories. Kate is not.
There is imo a shared centre ground.
Its looking to me with the demise of so called populists of left and right ( Corbyn and Trump) we will see return to supposedly "rational" centre ground politics.

Hoey is like most poeple hard to pigeonhole. I know people she taught (or they went to her school) before she went to parliament who have been quite surprised by her anti BLM stuff.
Her Countryside Alliance stuff apparently is due to her upbringing in the country. I sort of get that having grown up in a similar place. That being said, I have no time for fox hunting, either for the sport or the alleged support to the rural economy.

She was back today - with an extended interview with Michelle Duesberry on the Northern Ireland situation on GB News.
Says it all - two obsessively self-centred people putting the world to rights.
Appropriate too - since Kate jhad a large hand in causing the problem she was laying down the law about.
Looks like GB News is simply repeating this over and over - their Youtube posting is two days old - but |I stumbled on the interview today, just pror to Hamcock resigns shock

The redoubtable former Labour MP for Vauxhall is guest of the day today on Politics Live.
No doubt her experience of Lambeth Council estates will prove invaluable in slagging off economic migrants coming across the channel in boats.

She's now upsetting progressive people in Northern Ireland via an article in Unionist Voice
www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk
Baroness Hoey criticised for attack on ‘anti-Union activists’
Comments by Baroness Hoey suggesting that nationalists in the media, courts and other professions are using their position “to exert influence on those in power” have been criticised as “depressingly bleak”.

Still upsetting ZanuPF supporters:

Unusually I agree with Ms Hoey that something needs to be done to re-launch proper political discourse in Zimbabwe.
That said Kate Hoey surely has to hang her head in shame for the farce that is current UK politics courtesy Vote Leave and Big Dick Johnson.

Not sure if this very long hatchet job has done the rounds. I't about Kate in her Kinnock/John Major/Joan Twelves era:
briandeer.com
I loved this half-way through:
It’s a strange place, at the best of times, to be a member of parliament, but Hoey has a specially weird position in the beleaguered borough’s affairs. While MPs are normally chosen by their constituency organisations, Hoey was picked by Neil Kinnock’s high command and imposed on local activists in a by-election four years ago in a bid to modernise the party’s image. They, you see, are mostly of the Left and she is emphatically of the Right.
From the activists’ viewpoint, it was an unforgivable imposition, but Hoey has set about her mission to reform with an evangelical zeal. After the Gulf War fiasco (when some councillors were alleged to have shouted “Victory to Iraq” in the town hall), Hoey called on the party leadership to once again exercise its power. Twelves – the leader – plus her deputy, the chief whip and ten others were either suspended or expelled from the borough Labour group – and Hoey made no secret that she rejoiced.

Interesting read. Article is from 1993.
At this time Kate saw herself as getting rid of the left in the party. Even though Joan Twelves as leader was acknowledged to be making good progress in cleaning up Lambeth Council.
I've only known her from her more recent days as hammer of the right - Lambeth Blairite Labour.
What the article , due to its date, does not explain is how she moved from the right of the party ( Kinnock) getting rid of the left, even when they are trying to clean up borough, to the opposing New Labour.
She even managed the feat of getting disliked by the left and right of local party due to her verging on UKIP type support of Brexit in her later years.
