Splitters

Today, seven MPs resigned the whip from the Labour Party to set up an independent group, but not yet a new party.

This should come as no surprise to anyone.

Not only because of Brexit, but a party whose leader and leadership ignore the views of party members to facilitate a right wing policy of Brexit, which will create a bonfire of rights.

On top of that, Labour is now the home of anti-Semitism, and likes to deny it has a problem.

There is never a good time for a split like this, let alone 39 days before Brexit day, but this is first sign that people are as mad as hell and not going to take it any more.

Whether it is successful depends on whether any more Labour MPs, or Conservatives, join too.

The hate being spat in their direction shows why they have left, and I stopped voting Labour three years ago.

So, maybe the start of a brave new political dawn, or another false dawn like the SDP?
