She also sacrificed her ministerial career when she voted against the Iraq war, joined corbyn in speaking and voting against the criminalisation of squatters, supported the short life tenants in their fight against eviction by Lambeth new labour council, for gay marriage, against ID cards, against the benefit cap, supports strong workers rights, against tuition fees. supported the tenants of the Ethelred estate when they were fighting the transfer of the estate out of council and is noted by huge numbers of residents for her accessibility, and willingness to fight their corner. Brexit is an issue that spanned the political spectrum, and without detracting from the importance of this issue, when voting for a candidate in Vauxhall weigh up the options. If Libs or greens weaken the labour vote the likely winner would be the Tories as it is in no way possible for either of them to close 20k votes for Hoey because of the strong personal vote she gets through her undeniable effective case work built up over 28 years. Then think who would you rather have negotiating Brexit cirbyn-led labour or may?
Hoey would always be holding a minority Brexit position within the party, but her presence would help to educate the more mainstream labour politicians left and right, why swathes of labour voters were passionate leavers in the Labour heartlands further North.
She also voted against the parties call for the 2nd leadership election when the blairites tried to topple him.
How anyone can vote liberal knowing it was thanks to them we got Austerity, what do people think would happen if by some miracle they were king makers again? They'd jump straight back in with the Tories, tear up election promises like they did with tuition fees, and we would still get a Tory-led coalition. A Corbyn led labour government is a far more inviting proposition to me as a council tenant, and being on benefits, than another Tory or Tory/liberal coalition one, and voting for kate Hoey is a vote for a Corbyn government.[/
