Demanding public affiliation with JLM is pretty suspect as well based on this thread's assessment of it.

What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)

Honestly at that point I think we'd see the PLP split properly and just straight up prop up the Tories rther than actually enter government. They wouldn't keep their jobs past the next parliament, but they probably wouldn't do that anyway.

Also fucken same. Which is why it may well be imperative to kick them out before they get given a free pass to do whatever the gently caress they want.

The issue of course being that the party withdrawing the whip en masse will play terribly. Again, CLPs need to get busy (unless there's some mechanism I'm not aware of)

Yah, mass reselection is pretty much the only reasonable course of action at this point for CLPs with poo poo MPs.

But it's a tough process to enact viz Kate Hoey still having her job.

So what's up with the self service scanners in shops in the UK.
I just came out of a Poundland in Glasgow and they have a demonic kids voice making Easter based puns.

Before that I was in Aldi (or maybe it was Lidl) and I swear the machines there used the same noises as the menu screen from the classic Resident Evil 2.
Last year they had a 'hilarious' elvis impersonator voice on the automatic tills at my local poundland. There were big signs up assuring everyone that it was officially licensed from the estate of the late mr. Presley so it was very respectful and not proof that we live in a capitalist dystopia.

Lol the Tory PEB for the locals was great. They have lower council tax than other councils while collect the bins more! Also Theresa May started as a councillor so you could be voting for the next Theresa May!

Those numbers are flying dangerously close to Labour returning 2 MEPs along with a Tory and a Plaid. UKIP's split may actually result in both them and the new Farage vehicle getting nothing.

It can't be a straight transfer between those two parties, it has to be voter mobilisation and knock on effects so loads of UKIPPERS are back to non-voters but a solid chunk of Labour and Tory went to CUK. Something like that.

Secret State is the nearest UK equivalent and so just as scary. The Americans could at least pretend that they might be able to "win" a nuclear war, the British Isles would be faintly-glowing dust within seconds of a serious war breaking out.
