Field has become an independent Labour MP over the anti-Semitism row.

Good riddance. Amazed it took him so long.

Still; tremendously glad that a malign force has made himself an irrelevant nobody.

Field wrote a piece for the Telegraph about "How Brexit is a new opportunity for Britain", like some Ukip nutter dreaming of a new empire in Antarctica, or on the Moon.

He is no loss.

Good riddance, join the Tories, Frank.

Twenty-odd years too late. But otherwise, yes.

Bye bye. Don't come back.

My partner used to play Badminton with Kate Hoey between 73 - 75.

Not many people know that.

When politicians talk about making tough decisions, they mean tough for us, not for them.

Now another MP is threatening to leave. As someone on Facebook put it, "it's like the rubbish is taking itself out".

I don't agree. Since that would be buying into the Conservative narrative which paradoxically led to the party being in opposition.


The real performance piece was Scottish nationalism....a project which failed in it's own terms and with the defeatism of Blairite labour let the tories and a decidedly English agenda prosper.
