Three Tories now joined.

It's basically a 'Remainer Love-in' and when they discover that the Liberal Democrats occupy the same ground but have things like 'policies' and a party machine (albeit one run on sunlight and eco-friendly Unicorn sh1t) and that some (admittedly half-ar$ed) form of Brexit is going to happen then it's a bit difficult to see where they're going.

The fig-leaf of 'anti-semitism', whilst undoubtedly worthy, is hardly 'Kick Out The Jams, Motherfreakers!' as their other call to arms, is it?

More political suicides. I cannot understand why these Tory Ladies have done it. Maybe they have their own careers outside of Westminster or rich husbands but their noses will be out of the trough fairly soon along with the Hateful Eight.

I do ashley think they are more honourable than the Hateful Eight in that they are fighting for their principles whatever they are whereas the Labour rump would be jumping before they were pushed.

Soubry and Woollaston were 100% sure to be deselected, Allen actually represents a Remain constituency so may not have faced the same pressures.

As for the Labour mob, Umunna was toast as soon as the voting principles were changed at last week's constituency meeting so again would have faced deselection.

At the end of the day that is democracy in action. The local party have the right to choose the candidate they want to REPRESENT them in Parliament.

At least all three Tory women have their own careers and money and don't need to feed in the Westminster trough.

Seems she is already married :

Wiki :

Allen was born in Notton, a small rural village near Wakefield in West Yorkshire, and received a degree in astrophysics from University College London (BSc).

Allen worked in various corporate positions, including ExxonMobil and the Royal Mail.[3] In 2008 she joined the family classic-motorcycle paints business, RS Bike Paint Ltd, established by her parents in 1978 and now run by her husband Phil Allen.

Allen has said she was inspired to become active in politics after watching the scenes of the Tottenham riots, and first became a councillor in St Albans. Allen served as a councillor for 18 months before making a bid to become an MP.[4]

The only 'empire' being built is the one with Brussels at its centre and its democratically unaccountable cabal at the the centre of that.

It's the EU (and their supporters) very imperative!

Can't for the life of me fathom why Leavers are caricatured as yearning for 'old empire' (done 'big' got the T-Shirt and the SJW-hyped guilt complex) when it's Remainers who are scared and conservative and wanting the comfort blanket of outsourced decision-making.

Well some leavers specifically harking back to the days of the empire will be part of it.

The other part is this idea that everyone will be desperate to do business with us even though there is still no sign of that. People haven't realised it's 2019 not 1946, Britain doesn't hold anywhere near the global clout it once did, and once at the negotiating table alone we are small feed to the worlds powers so will either be accepting worse deals than now or no deals.
