All the Labour MPs who left for Change UK in 2019 are rejoining Labour. Not so keen on that change anymore, eh?

By Becoming Lobbyists, ‘Moderates’ Have Shown Why They Should Never Have Been Labour MPs

Despite these MPs claiming to uphold ‘real Labour values’, their career trajectories since December have been particularly enlightening.

Ironically, the chief legacy of the Independent Group – which partly emerged from a desire to ‘stop Brexit’ – was to make a hard Brexit far more likely. Illustrative of this is how every Independent Group MP voted against a customs union last year – along with most Liberal Democrats and even Caroline Lucas. Despite the (untrue) claim that high-profile ‘remainers’ would have accepted a ‘soft Brexit’ compromise, that strategy was all or nothing. It now seems inevitable that by the end of this year, Britain will have an utterly transformed relationship to the EU. The hardest of hardcore remainers, particularly Change UK, played their part.

The Independent Group for Change has shut down after losing all its MPs

The party - also known as TIG and Change UK - is winding down because it has "no voice in Parliament"

[quasi-normalcy]

With the demise of Change UK, can we all please just admit that there *isn't* secretly a silent majority of the electorate who reject ideological extremes and just want technocratic neoliberal administrators to occasionally tweak their tax rates?
