So how many MK's does Labor have now? Less than 10?
Seven, I think. I did see eight quoted elsewhere, but that doesn't fit with reports.
Anyways, have a read of this.
It's complicated. At first they were 13. A group of 3 wanted to break apart but the party didn't let them (you need 1/3 of the MK, meaning 5, to break apart without the need for consent) so they're with one foot outside. Another MK (Ben Simon) asked the consent of the party but I'm not sure if it was given to him (you need the signature of every MK in order to split, some signed, not sure all of them). And now 5 broke ranks. Meaning there are 7/8 MK left in Labour.
