Yet more Tories to join Labour.... but only those with 'purpose'.... say Wes Streeting.
Sure they might turn away some token nut-jobs (but they'd be unlikely to seriously want to cross the floor), but the fact that they are taking anyone from this demonstrable corrupt, craven & toxic party will (and does) upset many....
And then of course there is the question of motive.... their 'purpose' will be to farm the opportunities Wes & other afford them.
@zzypt@ChrisMayLA6 It would be ideal if more people would get behind a 'whoever can beat the Tories in this area' system of voting, like https://tactical.vote or similar.
@ChrisMayLA6 Ah, thanks - I knew this had been reported somewhere, but I couldn't remember where (I don't pay a great deal of attention to the Guardian these days).
Surely Elphicke qualifies as a "nutjob" though? I can't see some of the exceptionally batshit people like Swain crossing the floor, but it does raise the question of "what even is the Labour party these days, and how likely would they be to form a pact with the rump of the Tories if they don't get an overall majority".
