As Zoe Williams says, "eating out has always been vexed territory for politicians", but the problem with the Independent Group choosing Nando`s is not so much them showing how down-with-the-people they really are, but that they expect voters to be somehow impressed (A cheeky Nando`s and a sausage roll: how politicians use food to prove their normal, 27/02/19). Do they really expect us to believe that this is the sort of thing they get up to whenever time allows. The fact that these ex-Labour MPs, elected to support the 2017 manifesto, want their unity with Tory MPs who supported the callous austerity policies to be widely reported is bad enough, but then to take voters for mugs really does beggar belief.
If the result of their joint negotiating so far is to continue with their own version of the Tory "all-in-it-together" nonsense, they really will deserve all the electoral embarrassment that is undoubtedly heading their way!
