Kind of depressing that it looks lke Chuka should have stayed in the party.

Here is what he said in 2015 . Note here he is criticising Ed Miliband for being to left wing.

BTW he stabbed Ed Miliband in the back after Miliband had given him an important job in shadow cabinet. Thing is for the likes of Chuka in the party it never was just about Corbyn. They saw Ed Milliband turn to the left as going to far.

Labour must appeal to middle income voters in England who have “ambition, drive and aspiration to get on and do well," he said.

While acknowledging a “collective failure” in Ed Miliband’s team, Mr Umunna said that Labour had lost because it set itself against businesses and offered little for the middle classes.

I think they had a German CEO for a while. Not sure about ownership though. On london stock exchange so i assume they have multiple "owners".

Edit-they appointed a German CEO Martin Seidenberg in July.
A Czech billionaire Daniel Křetínský owns 25% of the shares and is largest shareholder. I guess he is after full ownership and that is who chukka is working for?

The man has no scruples. Maybe he should join the Labour Party...

That is a cruel comment.
Fair, but cruel.

If he had stuck it out in those awful years when Corbyn was leader he would be doing fine now. Just the sort of MP that would fit in with Starmers party.
