Yes - I don't know much about Umunna tbh, but was it an unreasonable move to leave the Labour party at the time he did, for the reasons he did? At the time I celebrated the move (of him and others) and thought it was reasonably principled and it appeared to make a difference to proceedings.
He seems like a Lib Dem anyway, so this doesn't seem like a wildly out of character or dreadful move anyway.
Cable was interviewed in the Guardian this week comparing the lack of preparedness the TIG had versus the SDP (especially around infrastructure, so that's obviously the story that's been set) - there wasn't the time for that though, TIG was a reaction to a single, rather urgent problem.

I was talking to someone around the time of the Euro elections who is involved in canvassing, etc who was saying that CUK had had a rude awakening when a lot of the stuff they took for granted in a big party was no longer there.

I’m not defending Umunna here, but it says a lot about our political system that anyone who changes their views is castigated for it. Politics should be about compromises and changing views, not entrenching them and refusing to budge.
