Change UK: Chuka Umunna resigns from Labour party and launches Independent Group

[Lord Camomile]

These veteran anti-racists who can't stand the racism of the Labour Party are off to a great start then:

Gotta be tint or tinge. Just incredible.

Please let there be live footage.

Link ain't working for me. Spell it out.

ISWYDT

 

[TopCat]

Look. I'm in the GP waiting room in pain. Spell it out or I move on.

 

[Shechemite]

Tingle, a funny kind of tingle

Hope it passes https://www.boots.com/zovirax-cold-sore-cream-2g-tube-10041592

Tim - can you change the thread title to Gavin Shuker resigns or something please?

 

[JimW]

Can't read the tweets, what's the gist?

 

[butchersapron]

The useless assadist posho tool says whatever.

edit: oh the smith ones? She starts to say funny coloured people basically

 

[DotCommunist]

Can't read the tweets, what's the gist?

angela smith was talking about bame people and nearly went with 'black or a funny tinge'

 

[Pickman's model]

oh dear

at least there'll be one racist fewer in the labour party tonight.

 

[eoin_k]

Good to see that The Independent Group haven't even managed to come up with an original name. Let's hope they also plagarise their predecessors, a British modernist artists movement, for some of the campaign material.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Look Chuka, these are your mates now. You're stuck with these people. This was your whole plan. These are the people who make you prime minister somehow.

Enjoy

You'd think they'd have prepared a good line on this but they haven't. It's all desperate back-of-an-envelope stuff even though they've clearly been planning something like this for years.

He didn't exactly word it that way, but yeah, that, basically...

 

[philosophical]

no, i am asking you to make the case you said could be made.

I am suggesting that as they were all elected as Labour MP's, with whatever that may imply for voters in their constituencies, they are now not Labour MP's any more. therefore perhaps they ought to stand again now in their new guises, so the voters in their constituencies can have another go now things have changed.

 

[SpookyFrank]

As for byelections, here in Nottingham East it's a good bet a momentum candidate would be chosen to run against Leslie. Even in the poshest part of the constituency the local LP overwhelmingly passed a no-confidence motion against him.

Are you John McDonnell posting under an assumed name?

Are you John McDonnell posting under an assumed name?

Most of the country seems to be saying something similar tbh.

s'what she did; resign to become one of Khan's deputies

Yes.
You wrote previously that 'Khan gave her a job', and said it is what I meant.
What I mean is closer to what you have now written above.

 

[butchersapron]

How
do
you
know?

 

[philosophical]

Are you John McDonnell posting under an assumed name?

Not at all.
Have I written word for word what he said?
If so he is somebody making a case for by-elections.
