Hoo-ray. Should have had it taken off anyway.

Yeah... Clare Short is just weird. Any idea who will take over?

Short hasn't resigned as a Whip. What is meant by resigning the whip is that she has quit the Parliamentary Labour Party. She'll continue to sit as an Independent Labour MP

Prude. This woman is horrible, she campaigned against Page 3. Good riddance to this awful prude.

She voted for the war in Iraq when a vote against it would have mattered:

Once it was too late she started being completely unconstructive has attempted to bring the Labour party into disrepute, and she did little to help the anti-war movement. She should have resigned before the war started, that might've meant something.. She has no credibility.
