Labour MPs are having their heads turned by Zack Polanski now the polls show the Greens are taking chunks out of the Labour vote. The Telegraph reports “at least one” Labour MP was approached by the whips on suspicion of defecting, with a ‘Green Party source’ taking real pleasure in milking the moment. Although they say “nothing concrete” has come from informal discussions…
One of the names that did the rounds recently was Dawn Butler. She insisted it was “untrue” when Guido put it to her. Still, plenty of Labour MPs will be glancing across the aisle feeling green with envy after Gorton and Denton taught them there’s no such thing as a Labour safe seat…
Those who defect should once again expect to field questions about the ghost of Christmas past in Jeremy Corbyn. Polanksi explained to the House magazine yesterday why he no longer criticises Jezza for antisemitism, despite saying he couldn’t vote for Corbyn in 2018:
“Since then, we’ve had a book by Paul Holden, The Fraud, which I think has laid out the cynical and systemic deliberate obfuscation of a really serious issue like antisemitism. I believe that I believed what I was reading and what I was seeing…”
A well-trodden path for a few Labour backbenchers…
