Surely by standing in the roads protesting they are blocking up traffic, thus causing more pollution.

Received 3 UKIP leaflets through the door today, delivered by a man that can only be described as Onslow from Keeping Up Appearances - complete with white vest - but with an Alan Partridge golf sweater wrapped around his neck and back.

It’ll all depend on who leaves and how many of them there are. If 3 MPs we’ve never heard of leave, then meh. If 30 well known MPs leave, then things might get interesting.

It’s almost certainly doomed to fail though and will just split the vote, giving the Tories an advantage.

Chuka Umunna, Luciana Berger, Chris Leslie, Angela Smith, Mike Gapes, Gavin Shuker and Ann Coffey.

Hmmm, Chuka is quite well known and I recognise a couple of the others. But I can’t see that lot making a huge difference unless they tempt a lot of others to join them.

Meh.

If Labour can't even ideologically agree amongst themselves on their own side, or compromise, then what hope have they got convincing the rest of the country to vote them into power.
