    This morning I have resigned from the Labour Party after fifty years. It has been a great privilege and honour to serve my constituents for 27 years, I intend to continue to represent them as a member of the new Independent Group of Members of Parliament #ChangePoliticspic.twitter.com/wFhJTfO33M

        Will you stand in a by-election then? Let your constituents reaffirm their support in you?

        His pension is almost equal to his salary so he doesn't care.

        Can understand why tbh. Current Labour Party is a joke, run by incompetent middle class marxists.

        Well done Mike, I hope many more of your Labour former colleagues will take the same step, for the benefit of the country and the defeat of Brexit.
