Eventually Labour will just be Kier Starmer being sanctimonious alone in a room.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

It's someone who had leadership at county level in Welsh local government. Significant, but not quite on the magnitude of a member of the cabinet changing parties.
Labour has become a 4th place party in polling, the mass defections will come some time before the next election unless all the Labour MPs have private sector gigs lined up.
Glad The London Economic is reporting on the news that really matters to Londoners (a councillor in Wales has switched parties).
Thanks for saving me the click.
I assumed from the picture that it was Starmer. I'd be tempted to do the same in his position, tbh.
The Greens are fairly openminded, but even so, I don't think they'd have him.
