Yellow Snow

So, Vince Cable, will Labour MPs who abstained on the Welfare Reform Bill join the Lib Dems, who voted against it, just as their own new Leader did?

"An avalanche"? The Blairites are not even five per cent of the Labour Party. But even if there were more of them, then why would the Lib Dems want them?

If the Blairites were going to defect, then it would not be to the Lib Dems. It would be to the party created by and for the Heirs to Blair.

But instead, more people have joined Labour in the last week than the total membership of the Lib Dems.

Theirs is a message for those Lib Dems who voted for Tim Farron before he supported extrajudicial execution and the hoovering up of the Labour Hard Right.

That message is, Jez We Can.

Not only that, but Jez We Will.
