I used to like FF until he became an extreme brexiteer.

Wasn't he one of those four Labour MPs who supported the government on a recent crucial vote? I think he might have lost the plot.

He will stand as an independent labour MP, his letter to Nick Brown is in the above link

I have always liked Frank Field, I think he will do very well as an Independent.Of course, he shouldn't have to be!

Frank Field is resigning the party whip and will serve as an independent MP in protest of the party’s excuses over anti semitism and bullying in the party

After 39 years of being a labour MP

Shame on you Corbyn, shame on you
