The fastest growing party



Senior Labour MP Christina Rees stripped of whip and suspended pending investigation

Christina Rees was shadow Welsh secretary under Jeremy Corbyn.

Christina Rees, who represents the constituency of Neath in south Wales, was shadow Welsh secretary under Jeremy Corbyn.

She will sit as an independent MP in the Commons until the investigation is concluded.


A quick check shows 14 people sitting as independent MPs in the House of Commons - the same number as the Lib Dems. Should they choose to unite, it would presumably make them the fastest growing party in the Commons.

Hmmm. That's rather like having 14 atheists gathered together deciding to create a new religion.

Actually, that's a good idea. An alliance of wife-beaters, racists, anti-semites, convicted criminals, porn watchers, drug users, and sex pests. The anti-decency alliance, or ADA for short.

Wonder if their expenses are withdrawn as well...

Stripped of whip eh? Westminster always was kinky.

Woodsy - it is, although I think any random group of 14 MPs would have problems with that.

Sam - but would ADA have a problem differentiating itself from the other parties?

Scrobs - I doubt it.

James - it must be the people it attracts.
