The Independent Group for Change | Have decided to disband after ten months

[Full bodied red]

Split confirmed. Luciana Berger, Chuka Umunna, Gavin Shuker, Heidi Allen, Sarah Wollaston and Angela Smith have all split from their split party.

Soubry is the new leader.

Difficult to take any political party seriously which chooses to have Sourpuss Soubry as its leader.

Funnily enough, whenever I've seen Gapes on TV he comes across as a fairly acceptable form of Socialism, although I suppose that's why he's no longer in the current Labour Party. and I reckon he'd be a much more acceptable ' face ' for the party than that face which I'd really like to slap.

 

[Kaos]

Chuka and Heidi could both do a good job. The Lib Dems aren't exactly full of people who could do it.

The same Chuka who bottled running in the Labour leadership contest? There’s no guarantee they’ll even retain their seats as Lib
Dem MPs.

Guess it's more catchy than 'The Same Old Shit'.

this is straight out of adam curtis

 

[Cheesy]

Utter, utter embarrassment of a politician.

 

[Hephaestus]

Question is, when's he going to quit "The Alternative" and start a group with an even stupider name.

Have to agree with you. When I first saw him and heard him speak I thought that he might be a future Labour leader.
But. He has made himself a laughing stock flitting from pillar to post.

 

[Hammerfell]

Thesauruspolitik.

Back in the day even as someone not necessarily keen on all his politics I generally felt he got a bit of a hard time and often spoke sense. But he's exposed himself as a vain and self-obsessed fraud over the last couple of months, the perfect example of someone who's achieved feck all but has bought into the hype surrounding them all the same.

At this rate we'll soon see the Labor Party.

'The Alternative Alternative'.

 

[berbatrick]

National Socialist Workers Democratic Party

 

[Fully Fledged]

The Inbetweeners. We're not Labour and we're not Tory. We're sorta in between.

The Lib Dems would be fools to have him. Chuka is an absolute joke and the main reason I never really got on board with TIG.

 

[scorgasm]

The Alternative isn't anything new, it's just the name of his newsletter IIRC.

Journalists tweeting for likes.

That's the part that makes me think it's not impossible.... I mean they elected Tim farron ffs

 

[Sweet Square]

Reminder that these people are paid to talk about politics.

 

[Rams]

If he grows some dreads and get himself plenty of face piercings he’ll be well on his way.

So it's not a new group or anything new really ? Media are pathetic

[SalfordRed18]

The independent group is what they should have been called in the first place, so atleast its closer to that.

 

[Silva]

imagine being the only politicians who got forced into something by change.org

 

[SteveJ]

How could voters have any faith in this party's competence if its leaders weren't diligent enough about their own name?

I remember looking through some of their candidates up in Scotland before the EU elections and one of their candidates had accidentally linked to a parody account on their Twitter bio.

 

[Grinner]

Just go with 'The NoChukas'

Chukka joins the libs...

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Can see Chukka being kingmaker to Corbyn in a hung parliament. It would be hilarious.

 

[Steven Seagull]

Quite simply an unbelievable lack of self awareness. The man is a complete and utter nob

 

[GloryHunter07]

Shouldve done this in the first place.

 

[711]

Shouldve done this in the first place.

He should.

 

[Kaos]

Really hope he loses his Streatham seat too. Would be a fitting conclusion.

 

[dumbo]

Hope he falls out of a window and into a slurry pit. Fitting conclusions n'all that.

 

[Full bodied red]

Just watching him now on the BBC at a LibDem Press Meeting.

Droning on about the UK's political system being broken by Brexit, etc, etc....And how he and the LibDems will fix it.

What ?? Isn't he in particular and the LibDems in general some of the main contributors to the current problems.

Absolute slimeball !!

 

[dumbo]

He's like the white Obama.
