It’s absurd to call the Tories as presently represented in the Commons “extreme”.

These three have left the party over a single issue, namely Brexit. This, they are entitled to do. But to equate Brexit with right wing extremism, while at the same time eight ex-Labour MPs are accusing their party of lurching to the left and failing to oppose Brexit, is daft, especially as everybody knows they don’t come much more lefty than Jeremy Corbyn (who is and always has been Eurosceptic, and is only prevented from saying so because he leads a broadly Euro-sympathetic party that relies on votes from a broadly Eurosceptic working class client group).
