What, no comments from the drop-in, drop-out tories on this yet?
I can’t imagine why anyone would do this. Labour may be disintegrating but if I were a social democrat I wouldn’t go over to a party that treated its social democrats like dirt, and simply swallowed them up whole into the yellow diamond, dog-muck-politics, beard and sandals nonsense.
If you can’t even say who you are, should we take any notice of you at all?

As a social democrat I wouldn’t go over to a franchise operation that treated its social democrats like dirt, and simply swallowed them up whole into the yellow diamond, dog-muck-politics, beard and sandals nonsense.
Notice shall now be taken?
