Who else will join the "New group"

[Devil's advocate]

My MP Angela Smith is one of the breakaway MP's

Although a conservative voter all my life, I think she has been a decent MP for the area. She worked very hard to help the local steelworks stay open & for redevelopment of a derrilict steel works site. She has also sat on the cross party committe which discuss agricultural issues with Nigel Parish as the chairman. I have watched these on the parliment channel on tv & she has always listened thoughtfully & asked sensible questions.

I don't always agree with her she is well to left of me & is also pro badgers, something that I'm very much against. I'm a remainer although I suport Mrs May's deal so that we can move ahead, Angela Smith being a so called remoaner.

I shall vote for her in the next election, although I won't be sad to see the conservatives win. The main reason is sheer gratiude that she has stood up to the bullying leadership of Corbyn.

Who else will join the seven? Chukka Unna realy been the only high profile of the seven.

I think they are finished unless they get at least a 100 MP's to join them ideally some been from the Conservative party.

I hope they get
Rachel Reeve
Mary Creigh
Hillary Benn
Anna Sourby???
Stephen Kinnock has ruled himself out.

A 100 Labour MP's are going to be deselected to be replaced by hardline communists. Surely some will jump.

I know most on here are Conservatives, but it is important to have a decent oppossition not a party that is a threat to the country.

Who is the loose cannon Blair or Mandleson?

I thought the country did ok under Blair?

Would the war have needed to be fought anyway?

I do agree Blair is now seen as a toxic brand.

Eighth MP quits Labour for Independent Group

 

[nivilla1982]

Seems to be growing speculation that Anna Soubry, Hedi Allen and Dr Sarah Wollaston will join the New Group today.

It's a good day

Just in passing, but it is possible that they may all have to fight by-elections. It would require a majority of MPs to approve it - perhaps not now as unlikely as it would have been a few days ago - and it would mean both Labour and Conservative Chief Whips being absolutely certain of their numbers. But it can be done, 'moving the Writ'...

As a further aside, for a long time I have thought that any MP who defects from the party they were elected as a member of should have to submit himself to re-election; Labour are now advocating it, I wonder if recent events will focus minds.

I think Anna's Constituency voted 55:46 to leave.
