Claire Short quits Labour Whip

Well there were threats to expel her from the Labour Party but Clare Short has decided to quit the Labour whip instead before they can get her.

What that means is that instead of having an irritating backbench brummie Labour MP popping up on telly every now and again, we're going to have an irritating backbench brummie Independent MP popping up on telly every now and again. Wonder when the book comes out?

So by my calculations, only another 32 more Labour by election losses / 'resignations on principle' (go tell it to the Marines) and this rabble lose their majority. Nice daydream for a Friday afternoon anyway.

Maybe she'll form a new 'Listen to us we're really important' Party with the member for Bethnal Gren and Bow.

That woman really get's on my nerves, she's a coward and political opportunist; I can stomach either but not both in a politician...
