‘Funny tinge’ MP turns yellow, as John Mann quits Parliament for full-time Tory job
Former Labour/Independent/Change UK MP Angela Smith (right) has now joined the Liberal Democrats

ANGELA SMITH has become the latest MP to join the Liberal Democrats, marking the end of her disastrous attempt to start a new party after she left Labour in February.

Ms Smith, who has said non-white people have a “funny tinge,” is the third MP to join the Lib Dems in the last week, following in the foot steps of her colleague Luciana Berger and Tory rebel Dr Phillip Lee.

Although both Ms Smith and Ms Berger criticised Labour’s handling of anti-semitism when they quit that party to form Change UK, they appear to have no objection to Dr Lee’s homophobic voting record.
