The Independent Group

Well with Labour in response making a turn for old skool hard left, Len yet again stirring up the anti-semitism debate by suggesting it is all a big fuss about nothing, I am really not surprised.

I hope some Conservative MPs will join them as well, that will really stir up things

So a group with no policies ,having been in existence for a day are more popular than the Lib Dems..

Unbelievable. Group quits Labour. One of the reasons being Labour's antisemitism.

Labour MP says it's an Israeli plot.

BBC News - Ruth George sorry for claiming ex-Labour MPs may have Israeli backing
Labour MP sorry for Israeli breakaway claim

They can't help themselves.

Sadly it is not unbelievable, and they wonder why...

Well the ultra left wing BBC, apparently decided not to show this on the 6pm or 10pm news.
Angela Smith apologises for 'misspeaking so badly' as Labour splitters hit with racism row two hours after launch

Peston tweeting he expects four Tory to go over today.

But then he gets my "most annoying political reporter apart from snow. Ever" Award.

I can forgive Peston for being a bit annoying, he's usually good at finding things out and is mostly spot on. If the Tory MP's do defect, I expect it will happen at PMQ's for maximum impact - crossing from the Government Benches to the Opposition benches would be quite a dramatic moment, it might send May into a tailspin.

He triggers the "find the remote" in me. Might be good but he needs a turbot across his chops at times.
