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

[Pickman's model]

Isn't 'satisfied by' different from 'satisfied with'?

Only to an überpedant

Isn't 'satisfied by' different from 'satisfied with'?

Yes. And pickmans is very careful with language, so I think we can assume he means what he says.

I am very satisfied with the recent performances of Callaghan and Tony Benn (and John Smith for that matter) if you're going to be pedantic above and beyond the call of duty

 

[Pickman's model]

Yes. And pickmans is very careful with language, so I think we can assume he means what he says.

Any dead labour politician has been more satisfactory since their demise than any of their living colleagues

 

[two sheds]

Yes. And pickmans is very careful with language, so I think we can assume he means what he says.

Indeed.

Dunno who he is...but I think his grimace speaks for many.

The absolute state of them.

Late then?

"Asked about the deputy leader's comments, Mr Corbyn said: "Of course I disagree with him, because I do not wish to be in a party where there's any bullying. I'll be speaking to Tom Watson in the very near future to talk about that."

Jeremy Corbyn dismisses deputy leader's comments as he denies allegations of bullying

Anna Soubry comes across like David Ike.

St Terry of Eurovision famously said "They're not laughing with you David. They're laughing at you". Sadly, with Soubry there isn't even the consolation of her being amusing.

You're the one who's politically homeless dude.

Smith seems somehow uhappy to be sat next to Umunna, for reasons we can only speculate on.

 

[chilango]

Firstly, is there any Labour politician that satisfies the posters of U75, .
.

No. I can't, and won't, speak for "the posters of U75", but for me? No, no there isn't.

But then, like a number on here I've been consistently opposed to the Labour Party - from the Left - for my entire time here.

That doesn't mean that what happens inside the Party isn't if interest and impactt to me though.

 

[Sasaferrato]

Why don’t you stand? Start a party and stand for election. You’ve got ideas.

Three reasons why not.

Too old.
Too idle.
Too few like minded people.

He's not the only one

did the greens not work out for you?

 

[danny la rouge]

Too few like minded people

Small mercies.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Too few like minded people.

Victorians are getting harder and harder to come by

 

[killer b]

I dunno, I think the 'would like social democratic policies but would never be prepared to vote for them' constituency is very large.

Australia is the only economic source of them now.

Well remembered! They most certainly did nit..

I dunno, I think the 'would like social democratic policies but would never be prepared to vote for them' constituency is very large.

not as large as 'would like social democratic policies but will always vote for lower taxes'.

Churchill ratted twice, detecting from the Tories to join the Liberals and then leaving the Liberals to rejoin the Tories.

He was a cunt too.

Wonder how many of them will get re-elected come the next time they face their local voters?

Not one of the fuckers.

Very few of those who joined the SDP got re-elected back in the 80's. Their hope, presumably, is to get the Liberals to stand down in their seats, but given the latter's recent performance that is unliy to give them the boost they need.

In my head I like to imagine this.
Lord Halifax to Neville Chamberlain.
I’ve only ever known two cunts and Churchill is both of them.
