What a shower of shite. All the sort that have been mouthing off about mean CLPs threatening deselection / mandatory reselection.
Submit yourselves to by-elections you absolute cowards.
Chris Leslie, MP for Nottingham East, is speaking now. He says it has not been an easy decision and that they have all been MPs for very many years. The Labour party they joined, campaigned for and believed in has been hijacked by the "machine politics of the hard left", he says.
He says it would be irresponsible to allow Jeremy Corbyn to be prime minister, which is something other Labour MPs will say privately. He accuses the leadership of having a "narrow and outdated ideology". "To them the world divides between oppressor and oppressed, class enemies, when in truth the modern world is more complicated than this."
Stanning for class systems to own the lefts, LMAO

Holy shit this is incredible haha
Now Angela Smith, MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge, says she is from a Labour-supporting, working-class family who were ambitious for her. "Most people are like my family. They do not want to be patronised by leftwing intellectuals who think that being poor and working-class is a state of grace." She says her decision to resign her membership has been very painful.

It does short term for sure, long term as well if they're successful and more people jump ship. Perhaps it's true Labour can align themselves better without these voices who were never really going to get on board, but losing 7 MPs is damaging no matter how your slicing it.
But it's gonna be a while before we see where this goes, and what concrete policies they're going to try and build around.
That'll be a challenge unless they are planning to move home to follow her to her new constituency too.
"Unclear where they are on economic policy"
Idk, seems pretty clear to me.
Labour will nominate a new candidate for the next election, Luciana stays at least until then. I can't see her staying if the interviews from her constituency are commonly held views.
I can see Dyson and that wannabe Jeremy Clarkson guy who runs some pubs being interested by this news.
I can't believe it's allowed.
It was that or the "We hate Corbyn" party, which even they thought was a bit on the nose.
I NOW CALL TO ORDER THE FIRST MEETING
OF THE ANCIENT MYSTIC SOCIETY OF...
NO HOMERS.
Imaginary bent bananas being banned by the Nazis of fruit, something about pints and my dead body.
It's hard to pin down when you exclude the terrible shit we have done to ourselves.
fwiw a hypothetical party isn't the same as the one that now exists. The realty is everyone thinks they are moderate or reasonable in some way but once you put these ideas on paper you find everyone has a different idea of what being moderate means.

The independent group needs to 1) form an actual political entity, 2) form policy that identifies to potential defector MPs and voters alike - ie actually come out utterly anti-brexit and 3) needs to have proper financial backing and an actual framework of a legitimate organisation for them to grow into something more serious than a few disgruntled members of parliament.
Nice of the centrist brain party to set out their Austerity was good actually stall early just so we know
EDIT: oh, and the sexual abusers welcome stall! But oh, best female MP ratio in history, yessss queen

Hannah Jane Parkinson. The return of King Rat Derek Hatton marks a new low for Labour.

You're doing amazing, Labour.

Good. Lol.
No idea why he was allowed back in. Tom Watson on LBC said he would be bringing up Hatton's acceptance into the Labour Party to someone.
It's for the best, I thought he might have changed when he left politics but it looks like he's still a magnet for trouble, I doubt it's just that tweet though, the Brexit connection seems dodgy as fuck as well.
