Clare Short might take back to Labour Whip, she says:
“I very much hope that this is going to be a new beginning [under Gordon Brown]…
We look for a new and better Middle East policy, we’re not so obsessed with being in America’s pocket, and the slimming down of the centralised diktat bureaucracy of the health service and education.
I think all that may happen and if it does - who knows, I might take the whip back before I leave Parliament.”
A comment from Hazel Blears on the prospect of Short returning to the Labour benches is hardly overflowing with delight, however:
“If she wants to sign up to our whip and our policies and vote for our legislation then that probably will be a great thing, but we shall see.” [Emphasis added]
I hope she takes it back, just so that we can see what monkey wrench she decides to throw into the cogs of Gordon’s government…
