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

[Pickman's model]

Funding blow for breakaway MP group

For all of chukka's 3d chess playing ability party formed between elections not eligible for short money state cash for doing party stuff handed out per number of elected mps so the lib Dems get £73.58 a week

they'll be looking for a trough to put their snouts in

Although the LibDems get a bit more than that...

Labour is due to receive £7.9m in short money in 2018/19, the SNP more than £800,000, and the Liberal Democrats £645,000.

...that's almost £12.5k pw.

happy to have called it completely wrong here. This is good, more completely politically opposed egos to fuck each other up

Likewise didn't think these pricks would have the guts.

TBH I think this huge mistake for Umunna and co. There are some Labour voters that aren't happy with Corbyn or the recent politics of the party but many of those will baulk at voting for a party that works with the Tories.

Presumably all the funny tinge brigade will have been required to sign GDPR policies forbidding them from doing this. If not then that's a massive fuck up on the part of Labour.

This. But it's yet another reminder of how removed from reality they are. They don't know people whose lives make them despise the Tories. It's all a good laugh amongst friends if you're not wrecked by it, eh.

 

[SpackleFrog]

It would be quite funny if one of them got done for breach of the GDPR given it's EU legislation.

GDPR comes up a lot in our union branch committee these days. No one sees the funny side when I say "LEAVE MEANS LEAVE" though.

What a shower

Arise, ye remainiacs from your slumber,
Arise, ye prisoners of Tinge.
For reason in revolt now thunders,
and so begins the age of cunt!

 

[Shechemite]

What a shower

A leaky one at that

have we had this yet?

 

[Teaboy]

That's not aged well.

It surprises me because I always had him down as a man of conviction, reliable and trustworthy.

 

[Sprocket.]

Anyone running a book on yet another snap GE?

 

[SpackleFrog]

Fucking non-existent more like. This from McDonnell was atrocious. We'll listen to critics, vows McDonnell

You're supposed to be preparing for govt, not "listening" to a bunch of Blairite flouncers who are now officially working with Tories.

This is a lot better from Corbyn to be fair.

Not in March. April/May seems quite likely.

Anyone running a book on yet another snap GE?

I was thinking the same.

MPs fear May could exploit Labour split to call early election

 

[Tankus]

anyone else getting "quiet bat people " vibes ... or is it just me?

I would have admired Corbyn more if he used the ‘Are you sponge or a stone’ line from Withnail and I.

 

[Wilf]

Circumstances at the moment are, to say the least, unusual. However I don't see May going for a GE at the moment. She can't risk being the person who fucks up a snap GE TWICE. Also, doesn't fit with her plucky getting Brexit through line. However, another dozen join the Tiggers and she loses the next Brexit vote.. fuck knows.

Perfect!

What's she got left to lose though really? To be fair, she's not got loads of options.

Same. A bit of respite from endless BREXIT BREXIT BREXIT stuff.
