I think they’ll be rebranded as The Sugababes by the end of the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Ronnie Posted June 14, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2019 That's me out of the loop, then! I thought he'd defected to the LibDems yesterday. You mean he left a couple of weeks ago, went independent again, and then joined the Libs? What a palaver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 14, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) Since those two posts though Ronnie, he's joined and left both Monster Raving Loonies and Britain First, so it's no wonder you can't keep up!

Paid Members JNLister Posted June 14, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2019 Best part about the latest name change is that they've announced it before the Electoral Commission has given final approval, so it's still possible they might be forced to change it yet again.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted June 14, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2019 Chuka Umunna should've joined the Lib Dems the moment he left Labour; they're closer to his politics and they have an established political machine to push him. But he's basically a product of the "spin" generation of careerist politicians, led by people like Blair and the cult of management. Ego leads such types to think it's about them as a personality and not the policies they espouse (if they truly espouse any at all), so they think they're The One to change everything, create the New Political Paradigm, and draw loads of people to it. A part of the problem that IndyCUK had, I would guess, is that they wanted to be the Remain equivalent to the Brexit Party or UKIP offering No Deal, but there were already two established political parties with a presence in Westminster offering that. Not to mention that, if you're going to start a new political group that you're going to try to push as an actual party as opposed to a single-policy group like the Brexit Party, you're going to need to show you have policies right from the beginning, which they didn't; worse still, they did a shit job of glossing over that particular fact whenever they were questioned on it.

What a feckless cunt he really is. I’m amazed he managed to defect without immediately declaring his intention to enter the leadership race, to be honest.

Arthur B. Funky Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 My take (not that anyone has asked or could probably give a Pope's wank): this career politician shouldn't be standing for any fuckin' political office with the amount of allegiances he's changed recently. There should be a rule on the amount of times a politician, especially a serving MP, can change their party ties & within what time-frame. A recall petition for this twonk HAS to be started & he should face a by-election.Cunts like this make a mockery of the system, AGAIN!

I’ve seen journalists and political figures share it, get told it’s fake and refuse to take it down. People are quite happy to weaponise fake news when it benefits their agenda. Even the wording of that tweet should raise suspicion. ‘#Chukapromise’...I mean, come on. Would he really write that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
