So Gorgeous George is to be sworn in.
The new MP already appears to be scheming even before his return to the green benches after a gap of nine years.
In an interview conducted just after his election win on Thursday last week, he suggested teaming up with Mr Corbyn – who sits as an independent after being kicked out of Labour over anti-Semitism – to form a new party.
Both former Labour MPs, they were vocal in their opposition to the Iraq war and are now among the most prominent critics of Israel’s actions concerning the war in Gaza.
Asked what he would say to Mr Corbyn he said: ‘You saw what happened last night. Set up, announce an alliance of the remaining socialists in the country.
‘You lead it, I’ll support it. You be leader, and let’s go! Time is running out, the general election might be three months from now.’
I really hope the do. It will make the election very interesting indeed. Labour’s chances of a landslide will be diminishing by the minute and with reform splitting the right-wing vote and this lot splitting the left-wing one, the whole contest will be much more unpredictable.
and hopefully the old parties will vanish. The dinosaurs who vote by rosette might actually have to look at policy and history if there isn’t their colour rosette on the ballot.
It’s a start and about time.
Although I expect that it is unlikely to come to pass how marvellous would it be for two political outliers to crystallise the breakup of the cosy two party system.
What it is more likely to do is even the odds between the two major parties.
