As Labour move ahead of the Tories in the opinion polls, the Westminster bubble is awash with rumours that a cross-party group of anti-Corbyn politicians, businessmen, celebrities and media pundits are plotting to set up a new “centrist” party to oppose “extremism” and keep Britain in the EU.
Names associated with the alleged “plot” include Tony Blair, Chris Leslie, Chuka Umunna, Lib Dem leader Vince Cable, leading Tory MP Anna Soubry and the founder of LoveFilm, Simon Franks.
According to the Guardian, the proposed new party “has access to up to £50m in funding.”
