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

[SpookyFrank]

You knew chucks would want to ditch Ryan and Gapes.

They've still got Leslie though, the poor swines.

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

Chuka is probably hoping he can join the yellow tories in time to run for their leadership

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.

Would labour have them back?

Damn you, got there before me

Ah the comedy never stops.

"to provide collegiate leadership to bring people together in the national interest"

To speak now of bringing people together, when they cant even keep 12 of their own people together. Brilliant.

The Alternative to Change.

The status quo party only without the hits

Well, it's hard not to be inspired by something like that.

Alan Partridge doesn't do political parties, but if he did...

This is the political equivalent of a dozen people shitting in a hat and taking turns to wear it.

... and this is before the debate within the Lib Dems as to whether to let the ex-ChUK people in, as if they are Genoese galleys stuck outside Sicily in 1346.

[Dogsauce]

Can’t sign on if they voluntarily made themselves redundant by setting up a hopelessly doomed political movement. Food banks for them.
