I have to say you learn a lot with the Microsoft news feed which takes stories from our national press. Here’s a non-story that really made me laugh, from the Sunday Hate Mail:
“Three Labour MPs are considering defecting to the Conservatives because they have become disillusioned with Sir Keir Starmer's leadership, The Mail on Sunday understands. The MPs decided during last week's Labour conference in Brighton to 'open lines of communication' with Tory whips about switching parties. They are understood to be in despair at Sir Keir's failure to make inroads into Boris Johnson's opinion poll lead – as well as Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner branding the Conservatives as 'racist' and 'scum'.” Why would three Labour MPs choose to go to the Tories because of their despair at Starmer’s ‘failure to make inroads into Boris Johnson’s opinion poll lead?” I know one of the authors of this story, Brendan Carlin, formerly of the Yorkshire Post and the Daily Telegraph. I fear tabloidism has got to him. Or somebody is taking the piss. I guess it’s a conference thing. Of course, at a rather sticky juncture for the Tories they would love little else but speculation that some Labour MPs might defect to them. What is far more likely however is that Labour will be welcoming back the MP ‘Change Party’ rats who jumped ship a while back. Anytime now, wait and see.
