What an odd day! More defections, but this time they are ours. Anna Soubry, Sarah Wollaston and Heidi Allen have all joined this new, so-called independent group of MPs from the Labour Party. They are all arch Remainers and set to do what they can to stop Brexit. I am not prepared to comment on this as that is for the PM , Party and their Associations to do. However, I do think they should put their new found loyalty to the test and call a byelection. This would be the honourable thing to do. Meanwhile, the anti-semite stain continues to spread around Corbyn, who, according to his own MPs, is not doing enough to tackle the problem. PMQs was loud and predictable, with neither side really making an impact. Back in my office, I worked through lunch, munching a sandwich and dealing with constituency matters. Government business ended at about 1600.
