Is this the start?

Just read that 7 MPs have broken away from the Labour Party. Might they accrete other breakaways from other parties? Could this be the start of something new and different from the current lot?
Here's hoping. Interesting times...

I don't think so - two disparate reasons given for the breakaway i.e. anti-Semitism and Brexit.

If it were for Brexit alone then there might have been a chance that MPs from other parties would make a loose coalition with them.

All non-entities anyway.

I just started a similar thread. grin

I really hope so op as the hard far left has taken over labour again! Remember militant tendency and the hard right strangling the Tories.

Both unpleasant both racist and both awful for the country and the economy.

They need yvette cooper David Lammy Anna Soubery and the Lib Dem’s on board. A new centre party would be fantastic. Fingers crossed

We need something to get us away from the stalemate we are in with the two main parties not only fighting each other, but also fighting within each other.
