Corbynista Laura Pidcock has always had something of the reverse Midas touch when it comes to politics, managing to lose both her council seat in 2017 and then her safe parliamentary constituency in 2019. Now it seems Pidcock’s run of form has even extended to her long time partner Daniel Kebede who works for the National Education Union.
Kebede took to Twitter last night to complain he has now been ‘removed’ from his party’s membership for voicing support for the Northern Independence Party’s candidate in the Hartlepool by election, writing: ‘What can I say? If you’re in Hartlepool, #VoteForThelma Reject the Westminster establishment.’ Kebede though is maintaining a ‘you can’t fire me, I quit’ defence and says he resigned last year but the party had clearly not got the memo.
