Making public statements about subjects outside your area of expertise without speaking to people who do know about it is not very scientific imo.

Really he's a media guy who trained in mechanical engineering once upon a time.

I have to say I've gone right off Clive Lewis.

It's one thing to resign from the shadow cabinet over Brexit, but coming out in favour of a second Brexit referendum in the middle of an election campaign, when Labour's main strategies can probably be summed up as 'be united' and 'don't talk about Brexit' is just ridiculous. Obviously it's going to result in a lot of negative press, so why do it?

Ah, the series that got people calling him a pedophile cuck because he acknowledges that gender isn't as simple as "there is penis, there is vagine"

it's still a garbage science shows because a lot of it is "bill nye has opinions". He may have correct opinions more often than the average citizen but that doesn't make it a good science show.

Seems he is very unashamed of his political positions and does not like to compromise on them. Seeing as he always tries to talk down any leadership hopes, maybe he just wants to be like Corbyn was: free to rebel when he wants to.

Also - a more unsympathetic view is that although this is not the Labour line, it's very much the line he has had with his constituency, which is (quite) strong Remain.

Maybe if studies like this wouldn't call them 'Our Britain' tribe, but ethnic (racist) nationalists, they wouldn't make up 24% of the loving country. Good lord. Normalising racism is in vogue apparently.

Also really unclear what the difference between Demsocs and 'progressives' is. Looks like an attempt to produce an analysis which shifts focus onto the right and discredits the left.

Altogether a piece of poo poo article.

Googled it and found the source here - from opinium: http://opinium.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Dead-Centre-British-politics4_lr.pdf

Clive Lewis is looking at losing his seat, he's got to come out as hard remain.

Getting treated the way he did while Shadow Defence and then the three line whip on Brexit probably made it very easy to decide to put his seat before the leadership faction. If he survives the election then he's also an obvious pick for a reconciliation shadow cabinet which has got to impact his decision making.

Unless they're actual scientists for their day job and don't go off topic.
