Parliament taking control like this was always going to happen and they should have kept their powder dry imo.

Most had little to lose - they were out at the next GE anyway whether deselected or at the ballot box

These people have already had a big impact on the political landscape, scaring Labour into second referendum territory, giving a boost to despairing Remainers and setting an example to all the gutless shits in the house on both sides who are cowed by their party leaders or moronic constituents.

They’ve only been going for a week or so, and there are many twists and turns to come.

I doubt it - those gutless shits will engineer an outcome that will roll over the TIG's and render them a footnote in history. They only agreed on Brexit - little else was up for discussion so despite those wanting a new party on here it was never ever going to happen

If that outcome is Remain then they will have played their part, though.

agreed - and for those about to be deselected / voted out anyway mission accomplished.

Oh dear Chuka not doing that well on This Week. His idea of a centrist revolution being rejected and his responses not great. He seems to accept that he has a minority appeal as does his group..............he even didn't want to be "outed" as the TIG's spokesperson. I think the idea of a centre left moderate party coming though is holed below the waterline. Sadly for Chuka This Week is about to be axed so his avenue for employment post GE are declining. Oh and Liz Kendall somewhat reticent to criticsize Corbyn... interesting jockeying for position.

next election they will all get voted out hopefully. there is no appetite imo for a centrist, blair like government. people across europe want alternative parties not the same old shite.

Sadly for them their moment has passed - no new defections just rumour - not even a fully fledged party yet - probably haven't attracted the sugar daddy backer they hoped for

So tge official peoples vote campaign asked these jokers not to table the amendment as tge timing was wrong , but they did anyway as they thought it would embarrass Labour(who mainly absrauned) and so the chance of a second ref for the time being has been completely crushed for now.


What a pointless bunch of idiots this lot are.
