Politics John Lewis lbc priti patel
Lewis Goodall just brutally owned Priti Patel over her claims of ‘sectarian voting’ and it’s a simply magnificent watch
To the studios of LBC, where one-time Tory leadership wannabe turned shadow cabinet minister Priti Patel has still got the hump over last week’s Gorton and Denton by-election.
The Green party’s historic victory was bad news for Keir Starmer but even worse for Kemi Badenoch’s Tories, who contrived to do so badly they lost their deposit.
No wonder, you might think, that the calamitous result had Badenoch (and Patel) crying ‘unfair!’ Except LBC’s estimable Lewis Goodall had a bone to pick about that, and his magnificent own is an absolute joy to watch.

Inject it into our veins. But before you do that, it was these people who surely said it best.

Oh look – another right wing MP who flounders when confronted with the truth that they targeted demographic communities https://t.co/Bnya0P460y

Watch the entirety of this and see how Priti Patel cannot articulate a single reason why Muslims voting for the Greens is a problem. “It needs to be investigated” for what? It’s just racism. pic.twitter.com/ipBPzp6Qa6

If I were a muslim I certainly wouldn’t be voting for any party that appears to have an issue with the fact that I am even allowed to vote for starters. I’d probably vote for the one that actually values my vote most. What’s to investigate? https://t.co/uggo2FRXva

Wasn’t Patel forced to resign when in government for breaching ministerial code?
This should be career ending regardless of party, such a person is not fit to hold public office.— 💚❤️debbee💙💙 (@debbeepatton) March 1, 2026

Why tf would anybody vote for a party that makes it abundantly clear they hate them at any and every opportunity? Who’d do that? That’d be like turkeys voting for Christmas ffs 😂🤣

In a "democracy " people can vote however and for whatever reasons they choose to vote for that candidate not a compulsory wish list from MP’s

The Tories lost their deposit. Patel really is a huge embarrassment for the Conservatives.
