Rather a revealing parapraxis I thought, especially when she's claiming that one reason she left the Labour Party is its racism. She obviously thought it was or she wouldn't have apologised afterwards.

I think by-elections are the last thing we need at the moment with everyone's focus on March 29 then 5 weeks later local council elections. The possibility of a European Election and General Election following makes any more spending on by-elections look excessive, besides we don't know how many more MPs will switch yet.

Absolutely, although I think they would most likely be bye-bye elections.

They overlooked this one. Although, to be fair, he's not an 'Independent' but an 'independent':

My money would be on Siobhain McDonagh who had a go at Jezza in the Commons tearoom on Wednesday accusing him of not really wanting to get the party into power, I sometimes wonder that myself.

I dare not mention our labour parliamentary candidate was selected against the local party wishes and on a women only shortlist

MPs were told to cancel their half term holidays but then didn't have any work to keep them out of mischief, hence all that has happened. I suspect there will be more resignations over the weekend.

Regardless of what the two major party leaders choose to say in public, they should both be worried by the lack of support in Westminster and with the public for the stance they are taking.
May thinks her plans and ideas are perfect while Corbyn seems equally blinkered, the sooner they go the better.

Jan
Although May has announced she's going
Corbyn hasn't and because he has control of the party now it will be some before he goes
There will be years of in fighting first

Both, and Ocean's Eleven. Just as Ben Johnson was 'helped over the line' but had his gold rescinded, these too should lose their prizes.
