Uncomradely conduct: My time as a Labour member, by a Tory MP
From our UK edition
Yesterday for the first time I trended on Twitter. Apparently I had been busted registering as a ‘supporter of the Labour Party.’ It seems one of the many people I had told over the previous week had ratted to the Guardian that I had paid my £3 and signed up online entitling me to vote in the forthcoming election for the leader of HM Opposition. This was despite the fact that I had applied on my Tory MP email address and given my reasons for doing so in the helpful, if not hopeful, online box asking why I had taken such a step as ‘to vote for Jeremy Corbyn in order to consign the Labour Party to oblivion for a generation.’ I thought this was sufficiently honest and quite a good wheeze for an otherwise quiet night two days into the Parliamentary recess.
