Indeed, a decent leader could have pulled the collective together and said “we have a chance to get in”, but the loony left has gone into overdrive
Good luck to Chuka "free movement must end" Umunna, Chris "the landlords' champion" Leslie, Gavin Shuker the homophobic anti-abortionist, Luciana Berger, defender of the Israeli government and Angela Smith, the privatised water lobbyist.

I think there's plenty of evidence that he's a true champagne 'socialist', and there's a rumour that some rag was going to drag him out of the closet.

Ouch, reported ironically in the Independent.....
Luciana Berger says her values have not changed, but that they have been "consistently undermined and attacked" as the current Labour Party refuses to put the national interest before party interest.
She says Labour is "institutionally antisemitic" and that the party leadership has "wilfully and repeatedly failed to address hatred against Jewish people in its ranks".
She is "leaving behind a culture of bullying, bigotry and intimidation", she adds.
Chris Leslie, MP for Nottingham East, says the Labour Party has been "hijacked by the machine politics of the hard left".
He says "British politics is now well and truly broken" and that he is unable to advocate a government led by Jeremy Corbyn.
He says MPs have a duty to say publicly "how irresponsible it would be to allow this leader of the opposition to take the office of prime minister of the United Kingdom”
Angela Smith, MP for Penistone and Stocksbridge.
She says she comes from a staunchly Labour family that believed in helping people to get on.
She says:
Gavin Shuker, MP for Luton South, is now speaking.
He says the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn has "turned its back on the British public - their hopes and ambitions".
Ann Coffey, the Stockport MP, is next up.
She says Labour "is no longer a broad church - any criticism of the leadership is responded to with abuse and accusations of treachery".
She says antisemitism in Labour is "rife" and that Jeremy Corbyn "has succeeded in changing this party beyond recognition"
She finishes by saying:
Mike Gapes, MP for Ilford South, makes perhaps the hardest hitting statement so far.
He says Labour is now a "racist, antisemitic party" and adds:
Speaking next, Streatham MP Chuka Umunna says the current political parties have failed.
He insists it does not have to be like this, saying:
He reaches out to encourage other MPs to join them, including those from other parties.

Plenty of snobby comments on social media from him, although they've been deleting them for hours now to clean his image up, apparently.
What on earth are you bumping ye gums about?
