i would have hoped that the disappointed 7 would have spent their moment in the limelight attacking this weird and hopeless government and promising to fight alongside their ex-colleagues to be rid of them. surely they must have far more animosity towards the tories than their friends in the labour party who they have worked with for many years. yet they chose the moment when they could do the most damage to the progressive cause and came out with some nasty and divisive shit - for what? who is this behaviour going to benefit? tom watson may be (politically) correct to say we shouldn't call them traitors but it does look that way. 'Tories' would be another appropriate insult
