I like how Reuters had info about that and only few Polish media outlet informed about that so far, one being website of Radio Maryja. 
I’m surprised too on what investors value as important news. On the other hand it is a well researched news source.

So, from the pathetic showing we’ve seen so far, is Biedroń’s career at national politics over?

I’m awaiting the complete collapse of Lewica.

There is no such position and there haven't been any high-profile departures since 2019, what do you mean?
I meant Agnieszka Ewa Dziemianowicz-Bąk

Apparently there has been four defections in the Sejm to the Socialist Party, who now have 5-6 MPs and have left Levica. Any idea on why and who these four MPs are? Anyone else leave the coalition?

They have quit, ostensibly in protest of Lewica 'collaborating with PiS' (read: saving the opposition from completely fycking embarrassing itself on one particular occasion), in reality because Tusk's electoral strategy for the last 18 years has hinged on marginalising the left and you can't teach an old dog new tricks, so a split needed to be manufactured. I understand the actual PPS grassroots* are not happy about being used in this way.

*note: there are about 50 of these people, and AFAICT none of them do anything but Post
So who were these MPs

Senate:
Gabriela Stanecka-Morawska - deputy marshall of Senate, represents swing district (75) in Upper Silesia (cities Mysłowice, Tychy and Bieruń-Lędziny County)
R
Sejm:
Robert Kwiatkowski - former president of TVP (polish state television), member of National Media Counsil, represents eastern part of Kujavia-Pomerania.
Joanna Senyszyn - former MEP, controversial, anti-clerical member of Sejm, represents Gdynia and western part of Pomerania.
Andrzej Rozenek - former ally of Janusz Palikot, member of Sejm who represents Warsaw II district (counties surrounding Warsaw).
Rozenek is best known these days for standing up for the interests of retired communist-era policemen and soldiers who had their pensions cut by PiS, even those who had passed vetting in the 90s. This is his actual value to any party that might have him (well, that and being able to say just about anything with a straight face).

You also forgot Wojciech Konieczny, senator for district 69 (Częstochowa city) and leader of the PPS. He is SLD in all but name and holds that seat because of his ties to the SLD machine that runs Częstochowa, he used to run the local hospital. I understand the nurses there were not big fans of him.
Huh, well that is a pretty strong list of defections. Are they all from SLD/Wiosna and Palikot? Who are the Communists supporting; have they stopped tactically supporting Levica? Why exactly are Razem still in the coalition?

Rozenek is ex-Palikot turned SLD, Stanecka-Morawska is Wiosna, all the others are SLD.

I don't know what the Communists are doing because they usually don't do anything and there is absolutely no reason to care about them.

Why would Razem leave? They like having political influence. This is a splinter of people who think Czarzasty is indulging them too much.

I really can't emphasise this enough, this is, if anything, the right wing of Lewica splitting off. Rozenek has previously claimed to be a Korwin-Mikke style libertarian. Whatever radical possibilities you seem to see here are all in your head. Politics is not just about brave third-worldist radicals taking on The Establishment or whatever.
I have not said much for a lot of this but whatevs.

Can you explain what you mean by “indulging in them too much”? Was the split due to Razem receiving more favorable terms than PSP? I understand that you feel it is irrelevant, but may you please find out what the PCP is doing, they may be irrelevant but it’s more about archival purposes to find this information and figure out the general mood of left wing Polish voters.
