Chuka Umunna takes on major new role for Lib Dems days after joining the party.
Chuka Umunna, the wanted to be Labour leader, but who could not stand the "pressure of media exposure" (especially when he realised that his prospects of winning the leadership contest were less than zero), who then "defected" to the Change UK party and wanted to be its leader, until support for the new party crumbled away to nothing making him realise that he would be the leader of nothing, he has now changed his coat again. Chuka Umunna has defected to the Liberal Democrats where he has been welcomed warmly by senior Lib Dem MPs including Jo Swinson, who is the frontrunner to replace Mr Cable when he steps down in July. Vince Cable has awarded Umunna a top job in the Liberal Democrats by being appointed shadow Treasury and business spokesperson by the present leader of the party. Beware Jo Swinson. Umunna still has leadership ambitions for himself and has already shown how he can change his spots in order to achieve his ends. He now is seen as the wannabe leader of the Lib Dems and with his duplicitous track record it will not belong before he throws off the cloak. Being a member of three parties in just four months speaks volumes. The Liberal Democrats are welcome to him.
