You'd have to move, mind

Chuka has been planning this split for years now, I don't think he would have gone ahead with it if he didn't think he could bring some Tories along with him - I think this is how he distinguishes it from the SDP in his head, and he is clearly modelling himself on Macron. If it really is just that lot of nobodies he is taking I don't think he would have taken the risk.

I hope he does take some Tories, as there is always the chance that they could actually end up attracting more Tory voters than Labour voters.

Robert Peston has some unnamed chatter...basically May's new backstop plan is the same old nothing and therefore

In Brussels officials talk openly of a 60% probability there will be a no-deal Brexit.

In London her more Remainy ministers talk openly that before next week’s votes by MPs the PM should pledge to ask the EU for a Brexit delay - or she’ll see perhaps 20 of them resign.

One said: “she’ll have to choose: moderate ministers or ERG”.

Not conclusive of course, but it wouldn't be the most unlikely thing to happen

There was a Tory MP called Christopher Brocklebank-Fowler who joined the SDP. He didn't exactly start a trend!

Sue Slipman was another oddity, who made an ideological journey from the Broad Left (in her case CPGB) to the SDP in about 7 or 8 years.

Which is why they move in such a crooked fashion

Christopher Brocklebank-Fowler
Made a fundamental howler
He decided to go
in with Shirley and co
la la la la la la la

(Last line a bit rough)

“Funny tinge” (from a Katie Hopkins lookalike) was an inadvertent good move.

It signals “hey! We’re racist too” to the establishment and corporate media, a significant boost to being taken as credible.

He wished he had friends
To continue the trend
And now I’m going for a wee.

Career suicide is in vogue I see. I might go and call my boss a cunt and steal everything that's not nailed down.
