Party Defections Continue in UK Parliment - Ordinary Times

The Independent Group Won’t Rule Out Admitting MPs Who Left Labour After Being Accused Of Harassment

The group hasn’t ruled out admitting former Labour MPs John Woodcock and Ivan Lewis, both of whom are understood to have expressed an interest in joining it.

Aggressive and hateful Corbyn supporters who are lashing out at the #Laboursplit MPs are as bad as the aggressive and hateful Brexiters. They're getting reported and blocked by me this morning.

#LabourSplit yeah, because this worked out so well last time someone tried it...

Are they trying to get the Tories re-elected?

From the independent group website (which is now back online).
"The Independent Group of MPs is supported by Gemini A Ltd a company limited by guarantee"
Also pointed out to me that not a party so not subject to current Electroal law on disclosing backers.

(I'm not a Labour member or backer, went with them as the anti Tory vote and voted for Caroline Lucas when lived in Brighton center, but there is something fishy about this group).

Reminder that viewing the #LabourSplit as a call for some sort of consistency from Labour on Brexit doesn't really work, because polls show no-one knows what to do on Brexit.

Would the party gain seats? Would it lose them? Who knows. These two stories are 18 days apart.
