I'm not sure what I think about the #LabourSplit ... does it weaken Labour more to have 7 MPs inside, or outside disrupting things? ... it definitely strengthens the Tories
At least Douglas Carswell had the decency to call a by-election when he defected from the Tories to UKIP.

Sigh ... because the centralisation of politics which ignores the disenfranchisement of the poorest off in society who are living through a time when they see their living standards going down has worked out soooooo well for Macron in France hasn't it? #LabourSplit

If you are going to resign the Labour Party whip, maybe get a decent sysadmin to run your website? http://www.theindependent.group #LabourSplit

Chuka Umunna: 'We invite you to leave your parties, we don't have all the answers, we don't have the big money or infrastructure of the big parties, we're asking you to help...' Don't have a lot do you Chuka. #LabourSplit

Chuka Umunna just 'joked' that 'Luciana will discipline me' if he got the website name wrong. Sounds a bit like a sexist trope to me. #LabourSplit

Angela Smith claims she had to work 'two, three, four times as hard' as other people to get where she is today because she grew up in a council house. I'd love to see her try & do my job as a teacher in a London comprehensive & then tell me she works 4 times as hard! #LabourSplit

Chuka Umunna is inviting 'everyone in Parliament to join' his new independent group. Let that sink in for a moment. He will take anyone, whatever their politics. They preach about moral integrity, pride and honour but have no values at all. #LabourSplit

I feel certain that the 'moral integrity' espoused by the insignificant seven will ensure by-elections follow quickly. After all, it is vital that The People get to vote! #LabourSplit #Insignificant7

We stand with Corbyn! Nothing has changed - this man is the best thing to happen to British politics in my life time (50 years) and I will do all I can to see him in office as the Prime Minister we need and deserve! #JC4PM #LabourSplit

Gavin Shuker wants donations. He is directing people to their website (they are really proud of the website). They want to 'build a new political movement' but have no values, no money, no chance and, hilariously, no website. http://independent.group #Insignificant7 #LabourSplit

The Insignificant Seven 'launched' a... non-party! Oh, the irony! And they say Labour lacks leadership! Who did they float this idea with, because I'm not sure it holds water? #InspiresNoConfidence #TheySinkBeforeTheySwim #LabourSplit #JC4PM

Chuka Umunna sees no irony in appealing 'those who would say we are doomed to be saddled with the same old politics' and who are 'sick and tired of politics as usual,' as he tries to resurrect Blairite Labour and destroy the Corbyn counterbalance. #LabourSplit #Insignificant7

In conclusion - there are reasonable criticisms of current Labour in the things the #LabourSplit MPs have said. Labour has to take them on board. There are also plenty of whining people who are worthy of ridicule and criticism. It's not black and white. It's not easy.

For MPs like @ChrisLeslieMP who insist they have represented Labour for decades but now their line has been drawn -
Why was that line not the abolition of Clause 4?
An illegal war?
The deaths of disabled people because of the Labour-created WCA?

I can't decide if I'm surprised that Ian Murray isn't in the #LabourSplit group because he hates the current direction of the Labour party or not at all surprised because the idea that he'd risk his career for any kind of moral principle is laughable.

Despite my criticism of the #LabourSplit MPs, I'm going to be a little more nuanced now:
I do believe that people should be able to leave work environments where they're being bullied and harassed. It is entirely reasonable for people to leave when they are experiencing bigotry.
