He may not have taken the Tory whip of course
He has not. He remains a member of Labour but has resigned their whip |

Not the only one, apparently... ...the late Michael Foot (with whom I once boozed in what is now Bonapartes at Temple Meads).

I was on the cider, there being no real ale there, Michael on the scotch. It was the Monday after he had been "outed" as a spy, and his picture was on the front of my paper. He had been in Weston, where his sister lived, avoiding the press. I had been at a meeting in Plymouth, avoiding work. |

Top man was Michael Foot, irrespective of politics........still much revered in Plymouth and was seen at Home Park supporting his beloved Plymouth Argyle well into his 90s....he came from a very notable family and his Father was also an MP▸ . My Grandfather used to tell me about Michael Foot campaigning outside Albert Gate to catch the Devonport Dockyard workers as they left work and men would stand and listen to him for hours, he was an outstanding orator and Parliamentarian and deserved much more of a memorial than he received - there is now a memorial to him in Plymouth, funded by public subscription, but the City should have done more to remember him. |

<googles again> Caroline Lucas and the previous president of Turkey are graduates of Exeter Uni. But are either of them football fans?

He might have been, though he was a disaster as a leader of the Labour Party. To quote the BBC» at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/932797.stm 'It was Foot's unwillingness to change his appearance, his clothes or his principles, that brought him a popularity rating of just 24%, the lowest since polling began.' and 'he took his party to its worst electoral defeat in 50 years.' One wonders if Mr. Corbyn, and his wardrobe and principles will fare any better...  |

Didn't you know that Caroline Lucas only joined The Greens because she thought it was the Plymouth Argyle fan club? |

As are Princess Anne's offspring, at least one of whom follows the oval ball game, and Joanne Rowling, Yate girl done good. Her football allegiance is not known to me. |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
