Independent Group in trouble as Anna Soubry calls MPS ‘Change.org’
THE Independent Group of MPs (TIG) was facing potential legal action by a civic campaigning group today, just hours after unveiling its new choice of name.
The parliamentary caucus, which was founded by pro-austerity and anti-Brexit Labour and Tory MPs in February, announced that they had applied to register as “Change UK — The Independent Group” so they can fight European elections if polls are held on May 23.
Nominations for such elections would close on April 24, though Prime Minister Theresa May is currently holding out strongly against the prospect of British participation.
