Presumably he was invited to offend Corbyn so May could blame Labour for the talks breaking down when she only wanted to discuss her own deal.
Does anyone know which Chuka turned up? The one who didn't want Labour to back a second referendum, the one who does want a second referendum or the one who wanted to end Freedom of Movement?

I don't actually disagree with his sentiment, I don't see what business Chuka has attending a meeting for House of Commons party leaders; TIG isn't a party. But how is Corbyn walking out of the meeting providing effective leadership for his own party? He's not going to get another opportunity.

And the idiots on here are falling for it.
The Sun could blame Corbyn for the Vietnam war and half the posters here would buy it.
Nonsense. He's played a blinder. As always.
Regardless, he shouldn't just walk out and take the bait.
PM Statement in 15 mins.
Gonna be more of nothing isn't it?

Can probably make a drinking game from the generic statements she gives these days.
How does Corbyn walking out help matters though? I don't really understand why Umuna was there, as That'sHernandez points out TIG aren't even a party yet, but he's played in to May's hands and actually contributed nothing helpful.
She's unveiling Chuka's party's manifesto.
'I'd like to announce... that it's time for parliament to get serious and respect the will of the people'
What a fecking shambles.... And people are still backing her? 
Yep, because that is the important question when we're living through what Corbyn described as a national crisis this morning...

What absolute moron, can't stand the cnut.
Yep. It was clearly a very serious meeting involving party leaders...and some bloke cosplaying as one in secret where nobody can ask who is funding the Goof Troop.
Presumably that wasn't the Corbyn that turned up for the meeting, the one who said we should activate Article 50 the day after the referendum was there in his place.
See the Corbynistas are out in force, he can do no wrong!
Stans do my head in, but I'm not sure this one is on him. Waiting for more details...
Of course it was a serious meeting. The only person who didn't take it seriously is Jeremy Corbyn. Brexit is a decision that is going to affect the country for the next 30 years at least; Jeremy might not be around long enough to see the totality of the damage it causes but the rest of us will, if he can't swallow his pride to try and do what's best for the country, he shouldn't be the leader of the opposition.
He didn't call the referendum. He didn't lead the country into a series of negotiations that were "let's spend 2 years arguing over what the Tories want, then go to the EU to get it at the last minute", he's not the one holding parliament to random for a dead deal. But yeah, let's insult and blame him.
Are they a party now then? Sweet. I look forward to the list of donors being published in the coming hours.
Clearly a substantial political event, ruined entirely by Corbyn.

So the 30th of June it is then
No, I agree with you. He should have done his job as prime minister for the past two years. Clearly he's the one who's messed up and let his reliance on the DUP and ERG trip him up here.The buck stops with as leader of the country it seems.
So May will get to blame Corbyn in her statement
Yep.

Not blaming it on him, I never said that, not sure where you got that. But he has done is though is a big fat nothing, just sits back and let things unfold.

These never really get a serious amount of signatures do they?

No he should have done his job as opposition leader. How May, the worst PM in living memory ,looks competent compared to him is astounding. He must have a special gift to look this useless. And I'm not talking about this incident.
And the person who should have been fixing this has done the exact same. But no, focus your anger on that dangerous loony who might make the rich pay a bit more tax.
there's been loads with 10s and 100s of thousands of signatures and they all get the same response "haha no"
What's he done in the last two years to offer meaningful opposition against the government? If he had done anything that captured the public's interest, he'd have won last year's general election but no, he's still neck and neck in polls with the worst government in this century, lead by the worst PM in this century.
Corbyn was an idiot to turn up in the first place but even more so to leave.
The fake outrage that something would have come from the meeting though

Nobody can make that claim with a straight face. It's not Corbyn's job to fix the Tory mess until he's in number 10.
You shouldn't have someone there who hasn't declared themself a party because they don't want to publish their accounts and donors.
Corbyn is a waste man for sure, but this on that bitch T May. The meeting sounds like it wasn't genuine...
