To Lose One Mp Might Be Seen As Unfortunate...

[New Judge]

But to lose six (out of eleven) must be downright careless :-)

// A joint statement from the six outgoing members said their priority was now "to provide collegiate leadership to bring people together in the national interest". //

Since they seem unable to grasp the concept of loyalty, who on earth believes they can bring anyone together over anything?

I wouldn't trust any of them to walk my dog round the block!!!

(P.S. I don't actually have a dog …)

[naomi24]

Well, that was a great success!

[Ken4155]

Too many egos spoil the broth, maybe?

[Jackdaw33]

Well at least the Tories are rid of that wretched Soubry woman. I'm surprised at Chukkabutty; he was going places within Labour and now he's not going anywhere.

[agchristie]

Headless chickens...

Oh well,Vince Cable is always available....

[Old_Geezer]

It has to be a good thing when those determined to overturn a democratically reached decision and replace it with their own desired way forward gets their venture nipped in the bud.

[Hopkirk]

After the next General Election they will all disappear.

(possibly with the exception of Chuka, who will probably become mayor of somewhere like two other Labour misfit big beasts)

On the plus side, Jo Konta's made the semis in the French Open!

[New Judge]

She'd better make the most of it Jim. I doubt that entrants from a "Third Country" such as the UK will, post (proper) Brexit, be allowed to enter the French Open! :-) :-)

[ToraToraTora]

well perhaps if they'd been more honest with the public, the spanna would not be presiding over the smoking ruins of StatusQuoUK!

[retrocop]

What's the expression,'A Busted Flush'?
More like a flush in the pan.lol

[ABerrant]

Now that Soubs has successfully wrested control of the party (no doubt aided by Party Treasurer, and partner, Neil Davidson) will she revert to her preferred so(u)briquet of TIGgers?

[Hopkirk]

I won't be able to sleep now having watched that.

[youngmafbog]

I dont think this is really any surprise, especially after the Lib-NonDems stole their thunder.

As JD says the one good thing is that awful Sourbry woman has gone, and most likeley will be on the old rock and roll at the next election, if not sooner.

[EDDIE51]

Bunch of useless nutcases ! Have they given up their EU parlimentary wages and expense allowance ???

[Spicerack]

?^

[ToraToraTora]

none of them are in the EUSSR parliament eddie.

[Spicerack]

I suspect Eddie thinks this thread is about Ukip.
He is/was a Euphile.

[douglas9401]

Shhhhh, he'll be fine, just move on.

[ichkeria]

I will be amazed if defections do not keep coming from the main parties.
I do like Anna Soubry; the Maggie Thatcher of the centre ground ;-)
