«Breaking News» Labour defector Chuka Umunna hits out at Conservatives and Labour

Chuka Umunna has vowed to 'forge a new kind of politics' with The Independent Group - hitting out at tribalism, 'Blukip' and 'disgraceful antisemitism'. 

The Streatham MP, who defected from Labour to found The Independent Group, said that it was now clear 'for all to see' that 'politics is broken', warning of the dangers of tribalism and incompetence.  

Writing for The Mirror, Mr Umunna said: 'Where the established parties are out of touch and remote from people’s everyday lives, we’re a group of ordinary people who are seeking to do something which Westminster has forgotten how to do – represent modern Britain.'

He goes on to say: 'The Tories have morphed into “Blukip” where Jacob Rees-Mogg’s ERG hold all the cards and the proud One Nation tradition has been lost.

'With Labour, we’ve seen disgraceful antisemitism flourish in a climate where no criticism of the party leadership is tolerated.'

Mr Umunna says that however people voted in the 2016 referendum, the Brexit process had revealed 'the failures of both Labour and the Tories', leaving nobody happy with the results.  

He adds that he is proud that The Independent Group, 'in contrast to the heavily male-dominated Conservative and Labour Parties in Parliament', is two thirds female. 

Mr Umunna says The Independent Group will 'forge a new, different kind of politics for Britain's future', echoing the Labour Gang of Four who announced the formation of the SDP in 1981. 

His comments come as a Mail on Sunday poll revealed Mr Umunna as a favourite to win the leadership of the new group.

The Mail on Sunday poll puts the Conservatives on 39 per cent and Labour on 31 per cent - and ranks Chuka Umunna as the favourite to lead The Independent Group

After a week of political drama saw both main parties lose MPs to the new grouping, The Mail on Sunday poll put the Conservatives on 39 per cent and Labour on 31 per cent to win a General Election. 

The survey by Deltapoll revealed The Independent Group (TIG) came in third with 11 per cent. 

The poll makes Mr Umunna the most popular choice for leader on 13 per cent, followed by his Commons colleague Angela Smith on 5 per cent and Tory Anna Soubry on 4 per cent. 

The size of the ‘Don’t Knows’ – at 63 per cent – illustrates the difficulty that the largely unknown MPs will have in achieving a public profile. 

Currently The Independent Group consists of eight former Labour MPs and three former Conservatives. 

The Mirror reports that the Liberal Democrats pledged to work with the group and their 11 MPs would swell numbers to 22 in the event of a merger.  

An additional nine Labour MPs are said to be considering leaving the party, along with four Conservatives - which would bring the new group to 35 MPs.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
