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

[andysays]

Worra clusterfuck


Change UK set to lose up to half its MPs

Come the next election they'll be losing the rest of them.

Joking aside, I suggest this repositioning is primarily based on a personal calculation of how best to ensure their re-election, they reckon they have more chance standing as LibDems than as ChangeUK or whatever name they're going by now. Whether they're correct remains to be seen...

Which ones will jump back into Labour when it pivots towards People’s Vote? Got to be a few that are worried about not having someone else pay the mortgage after the next election.

Whether existing lib dem candidates in their seats would be happy to stand aside for such a shower of twats would be another question. Where will they parachute Mike Gapes for example?*

It would make my day if the 4 former Labour MPs staying with Soubry, all jumped back into Labour, leaving Soubry on her own.

You'd think that treacherous scumbags that have split from two parties in under 6 months wouldn't be welcome anywhere. But, Lib Dems...

 

[chilango]

Chuka wants to keep his seat, and sees a LibDem ticket as the way to do it. Right?

Hahahaha

Jesus H Christ on a Fucking Bike, Soubry is the new leader of Chuckle UK.

Ms Soubry said she was "deeply disappointed" at the split.

"Now is not the time to walk away, but instead to roll up our sleeves and stand up for the sensible mainstream centre ground which is unrepresented in British politics today," she added in a statement.

Six Change UK MPs quit party months after its creation

Fucking hell, how deluded is she?

Despite a slick launch in Westminster, the group was plagued by problems.

There was a 'slick launch'? I missed that completely.

Stealing the Malvinas is bad enough, dumping Gapes on them is adding insult to injury.

Apols for source, but the graphic is useful for those who've forgotten exactly who these former people are.....

“Roll up our sleeves”
“In the National interest”

Soundbites lifted straight off the tories. No illusion of progressiveness here.

Vince Cable being interviewed on BBC News, he would be happy to talk to anyone wanting to join the LibDems, in particular the 'independent group', and went on to say...

'I don't want to gloat over their failure, it was a failure [big grin on his face], but we have got to move on'. - fucking LOL.

It's hugely enjoyable hearing this news. I think it makes the country less polarised laughing together at them.
