    After the election she’s just going to be an advisor not an MP. So I think that clause may be exempt in that case, I’m not really sure how it works. The Conservatives never seem to be that worried about having “lefty” scientists as advisors, after all they could always fire them if they said controversial things like maybe not all drugs should be class A.

    I still don’t think it’s an appropriate appointment, simply because Labour just doesn’t need her. They can implement housing reform without her. Presumably they expected to before she defected so I don’t quite see what the point in allowing her in was. But I also don’t think it’s that big of a problem. I just think it’s kind of stupid.
