"Up to 40 Labour Party members in Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett's constituency are defecting to the Liberal Democrats in protest at her handling of the Middle East crisis"

UP TO 40 - what does that mean?? 1?? 4?? 9?? 12?? Meaningless!!

And they are all Muslims .............................. what's so special about that??

If thats the best you can do I suggest you give up!

Thumbs down

Blair's finished. The longer he stays the more damage he does. I think he should stick around to the end of the current term.

just shows you for what you are, a sad twisted person who cant accept there

are other with viewpoints that are different. So rather than accept them you resort to the age old ridicule and humiliate.

blinkered and sad.

While I'd agree that "up to 40" means anything from none to 39, I'd say that 37 is pretty close to 40.

Anger over the Government's failure to call for an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon led yesterday to the defection of 37 activists to the Liberal Democrats in the Derby South constituency of Margaret Beckett, the Foreign Secretary.

And 40 members out of more than 200,000 is relevant because? What a stupid non-story!


The fact that membership has more than halved since Blair became PM is a little more interesting and worthy of a post if it wasn't for the fact that it isn't news.

Suresh - 40 members out of 200K isn't much of a story. 40 active members including a ward chairman and a former city and county counillor in one constituency is a slightly bigger story. When the 37 are defecting over foreign policy and it is the Foreign Secretary's constituency, it is a slightly bigger story again.

Anyway, my post was aimed at PSL's rubbishing of the orignal "up to 40" comment. It wasn't 1,4,9 or 12 that defected. I'd say that "up to 40" is a pretty good approximation for 37.

This is the most corrupt,incompetent,lying government in living memory. I think Billy should stay on until it all falls apart, rather than Flash taking over-difficult as it is to imagine he would be even worse.
