Pretty sure this is how The First Order must have started.

I don't disagree with that. Although I think Umunna is more dangerous than some give him credit for. 

He’s very calm and considered isn’t he, I’d imagine he could charm a lot of people

According to Peston the so called People's Vote are disappointed and will put distance between themselves and those Labour MPs resigning the whip. 

 

We already know that Chuka fell out with Labour but having differences with two campaigns is quite something.

Fair play to them doing what they believe in but it’s doomed to failure, they must know that

Resigning their seats?

[clangers]

Shouldn't they all really be triggering a bi-election here as they've all jumped ship rather than hiding behind the 'you voted for an individual' or 'national emergency'?

I'm not sure they care, their priority seems to be to prevent a Corbyn government at any cost.

I'd have a lot more respect for them if they held by-elections in those constituencies after all they weren't voted in as Independents they were voted in under a Labour banner and manifesto .

Yeah, as I’ve said I agree, honourable to walk away but they shouldn’t remain in seat as it was the Labour vote that got them there

Sign up quick and you can take whatever role you want in your local area.

They are screwed. If they left with a larger group of Labour MP's and a number of Tories, formed a new party with policies before announcing this they might stand a chance although the SDLP didn't survive. Aren't they really Liberal Democrats? Hasn't anyone told them?

They don't seem as keen for a people's vote in their own constituency.

When Douglas Carswell left the Tories for UKIP, he resigned his seat and forced a by-election. 

 

These people have less integrity than Douglas Carswell.

A journalist asked him a stupid question; he tried to answer it honestly. The only clips I've seen are of McDonnell getting as far as "Tonypandy; Villain..." Did he add anything to balance that? Who knows? The media coverage has almost all been about slagging him off as a "Poundland Lenin". Maybe he could have refused to answer or he could have said "both", but I'm not convinced that would have made much difference. 

 

And if you equate the obvious and understandable enmity of most of the media to the Labour leadership with the absurd delusions of GOT's finest, then frankly you're a fucking moron.

He's the shadow chancellor. He should be taking interviews where he knows what questions are coming. If he doesn't, he shouldn't be there.

He should have just said something along the lines of Churchill was a complex character so the question is too simplistic, not hard is it?

The honourable thing would be to now call a by-election. They were voted in based on being a Labour MP. If they feel they were voted in on the strength of their individual candidacy, then let's see if they will put their money where their mouth is. I won't be holding my breath. (This goes for anyone who resigns the whip from any party).

So honesty isnt valued anymore? Fuck me!

Who's being honest exactly? It certainly isn't Chuka et al.
