It’s déjà vu in the Commons today as swearing in continues. Clive “On Your Knees B*tch” Lewis has had to do it all over again. His first protest oath didn’t cut the mustard…
Last week he said: “I take this oath under protest, and in the hope that one day my fellow citizens will democratically decide to live in a republic…”
And now: “I was elected to Parliament to represent my constituents and our country to the best of my ability to defend democracy and uphold human rights and one day I hope all members of Parliament will be entitled to swear an oath of allegiance based on those values.”
He better hope this one works…
UPDATE: The first one was not legally valid because Lewis didn’t mention the King’s “heirs and successors”. Read the full letter below explaining the problem:
Clive “On Your Knees B*tch” Lewis has taken an unorthodox approach to his swearing in oath:
“I take this oath under protest, and in the hope that one day my fellow citizens will democratically decide to live in a republic until that time I do solemnly sincerely and truly declare and affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to his majesty King Charles according to law.“
Not the first time Lewis has got carried away in the Commons recently. He did of course have to go on and say it properly after his moan. At least Corbyn kept his complaining to a whisper…
Who says Commons voting procedures are dull? During last night’s votes on amendments to the Rwanda bill, Labour MP Clive Lewis tried to enter the division lobby but was refused entry because the time had expired. Cue an angry sweary rant at the Commons doorkeeper on instruction from the Deputy Speaker not to let anyone through. Some MPs claim Lewis then loudly complained that he was denied entry because he is a black MP. In line with Lewis’ usual tact and decorum in the Chamber…
Deputy speaker Roger Gale said “the consequences will be very severe” if the foul-mouthed member was identified, though Lewis pre-empted him by apologising for swearing “at no one in particular“:
“Let me very quickly explain. I received a message that caused me some consternation and surprise, to which I made an outburst in general at no one specifically. If I could do it again, I probably would have said something like ‘my giddy aunt’, rather than what did come out of my mouth, and for that I apologise.“
And they say swearing is a sign of intelligence…
Clive Lewis has yet again landed himself in hot water for his insensitive comments. Speaking today on Politics Live, the Labour backbencher was commenting on reports from the i that the government plans to house migrants in holiday camps and claimed:
“… you’ve got a group of people concentrated into a camp – as you did in the Boer War, it’s what you call a concentration camp”
Clive didn’t take the opportunity to backtrack on these comments – even when challenged – instead he doubled down. To reiterate, these are holiday camps for illegal migrants…
A Labour spokesperson described the comments as “Clearly not appropriate”. They added the whips office would decide on disciplinary action. Guido hopes Clive hasn’t heard the end of this.
A deportation flight intended to take murderers, rapists and paedophiles back to Jamaica set off in the middle of the night with only 13 of its planned 50 passengers after last-minute legal challenges saw several removed from the plane over claims they had been victims of “modern slavery”. Left-wing lawyers forced the government’s hand to keep on UK soil. Even with the legal victory, hundreds of hard-left activists and “black public figures” are furious that the flight deported anyone at all, despite the remaining 13 criminals having combined sentences of more than 100 years for murder, manslaughter, grooming, burglary and robbery.
Priti Patel was rightly furious at the continuing interference of campaigning lawyers, and accused Labour MPs of “re-traumatising” victims of rape and other evil crimes. 70 MPs had signed a letter organised by Clive Lewis calling for the flight to be delayed, names included the usual loony left; Jeremy Corbyn, John McDonnell, Diane Abbott, Bell Ribeiro-Addy, Kate Osamor, Claudia Webbe and Dawn Butler. The letter claimed:
“Deportations epitomise the government’s continued ‘Hostile Environment’ agenda. Not only is this agenda unjust, but also the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has now found that the Home Office broke the law with its series of hostile environment policies and inhumane treatment of the Windrush generation.”
It is beyond disgusting that these Labour MPs and hard-left celebrities dare conflate the mistreatment of the Windrush generation to the frankly overly-humane treatment of this group of low-lifes.
The criticism from the likes of Diane Abbott is particularly laughable. As immigration minister Chris Philp pointed out in the Commons this week after she called the mass-deportation “cruel and potentially dangerous”, the law legally requiring the government to ship this evil lot back to where they came from was implemented in 2007 under a Labour government – a law for which Diane Abbott voted.
Labour complain about a hostile environment towards thieves, murderers, rapists and paedophiles – it clearly isn’t hostile enough and their former voters in the Red Wall will drain away even further if identity politics continues to drive them down this route…
