Before news of Honda's decision to close their Swindon plant broke 7 MPs formally left the Labour party to form "The Independent Group' citing Corbyn's record on anti-semitism, bullying & the fact that he's aiding a Tory #Crashout Brexit.
The seven are Luciana Berger, Chuka Umunna, Chris Leslie, Angela Smith, Mike Gapes, Ann Coffey and Gavin Shuker.
Somewhere in academia, there is a historian who wrote an acclaimed biography of the split that lead to the SDP, who has come back from lunch to find 197 messages on their answer machine from media organisations
Update 1:
In a fine example that proved the point of the 7, whichever chimp was in charge of the Young Labour twitter account debated:
OPTION 1: Express deep sadness that a number of MPs feel that the party has changed for the worse and ask them to reconsider
Option 2: Call them cowards & traitors
Then chose option 2
Update 2:
The new group got off to a terrible start when Angela Smith on live (BBC) TV when talking about BME people, said "it's not just about being black or a funny tinge"
Well done Angela, you've just overshadowed, if not totally torpedoed, your launch!
