3 tories have resigned and joined the "independent group" with the labour MPs.

The 3 which have resigned haven't surprised me because they didn't come across as Tories even though they voted for cuts etc but that was probably due to the whips asking them to.

Unprecedented but again no surprise with scathing comments of a RW Tory govt impending. Could this be the start of the "flood" to set up a new "centrist party" of some sort to embrace the millions n millions of people who feel totally disenfranchised from both mainstream political parties. From my Scottish viewpoint, bring on Scottish independence and lets not bother activating a section 30 order either! Just do it asap! Listening to Mrs Windrush's cheap criticisms of the SNP and Scotland, a "smokescreen", while ignoring Ian Blackford's scathing criticism of her fragmented party and sham of a Brexit negotiation. What an incompetent PM/unionist shit she actually is and has proved it time n time again!!

She said what she said because Ian Blackford rattled her and he knew it. He speaks a lot of sense, shame he isn't in the Labour Party as he would make a good leader of the opposition.
