    As I said, I don't think the fco should be funding interventions aimed at elected politicians.

          The town where I work, which is an old South coast resort that's seen better days (narrows it down to about 40) has had a notable increase in homelessness in the last six months. For the local Tory voters, it means more people to step over and out about, so they're almost certainly happy with this trend at a subconscious level.

                    Is this going to be an SDP-lite that will take more votes from Labour than the Tories?

                    Comment


                      There already is an SDP MkII, who are supposedly the self-proclaimed Lexit party.

                        That'll be the plan. Can't be having a slightly socialist Government.

                          Honestly, five MPs, four of them certain to lose their jobs to the Labour PPC in the next election. Yawn.

                            Yes, but well connected enough to get their faces on the telly at the drop of a hat.

                              Who watches TV news anymore? And who, if they did, would look at Chukka Umunna or Chris Leslie and say "Ah, there is the conscience of a nation"? Chris Leslie's political judgment is so bad he thought leaking the 2017 manifesto would *hurt* Labour.

                              But hey, at least they have one colossus of the party in Mike Gapes. I mean, literally.

                                The magnificent seven. Where will they go and what do they hope to achieve?

                                  Presumably they'll be doing the honourable thing and resigning their seats so the electorate can have a chance to choose their MP again?

                                    They'd do anything for love (of sensible politics) but they won't do that

                                      Like the two kippers did.

                                      Surely there should be a rule for this.

                                        Woohoo! One is my local MP! (Coffey, Who seconded the No Confidence motion that led to the chicken coup.)

                                          Mike Gapes. Angela Smith Chris leslie. these are the charismatic figures with new ideas that are going to revitalise the centre of politics

                                            “We’re resigning because of Labour’s stance on Brexit, including refusing to support a second referendum.”

                                            ”We will not be standing down as MPs because we believe the British public are tired of elections.”

                                            Jesus fuck.

                                            (Also I need to move these posts into the Corbyn thread.)

                                                To be fair to the Vichy centrists, they probably had more pressing concerns than doing talk shows and being slabbered at on Twatter?

                                                    It wouldn't work. They'd just formally accept the Labour whip but act pretty much the same way. Worse for everyone.
