Is she gonna now stir some real shit up for the "Blair Mafia" now......I hope so. Perhaps she might manage to get them into court where they belong and testify against them.
Great, so now 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.

A bit late Claire. Should have gone with Cookie and rescued your integrity. I'm sure the next volume of you memoirs will be out conveniently soon.
Always satisfying to beat the Beeb by even only 10 minutes.

Maybe Claire should not be underestimated. She could make a very useful prosecution witness. People moan about her, erm, delayed departure from Government over Iraq. That move wasn't easy, even for Robin Cook. Don't forget they were all brainwashed with the "three terms out of office" mantra.
I like Claire, and apart from having nice, squishy, blubby boobs, she is a cogent reminder of what old Labour stood for.
Absolutely, don't knock Clare. We don't want her taking her bat and ball home yet. This critique of Blair's government spin and incompetence is more powerful than the Tory front bench has managed esp this excerpt -
"The approach of New Labour to public sector reform with a plethora of centralised targets, constant re-organisation and now privatisation, has demeaned the precious value of public services. And in addition to the, arrogance and lack of principle of New Labour, there is an incredible incompetence. Policy is announced from No 10 to grab media attention and nothing is properly thought through."

Well no surprise there then. However the old leftie warhorse has taken so long to do the decent thing that she has lost all credibility. If she had any malice and spite in her she would step down and have a by-election, that would stick it up NuLab and do her cred a power of good with the lefties.

The BBC's "Have Your Say" is filled with "drooling twats" because they are the only people the moderators let through. All real debate is stifled because it does not fit in with the liberal consensus. You pays your money...you takes their choice. "Have your say" equals "Have their say".

At least she's got principles - which is more than you can say for most members of the Labour Party!!

Principles? If she had any principles, rather than political opportunism, she would have resigned and stepped down years ago, rather than spend time in a Cabinet with B-Liar and the rest of the mendacious shits.

I think Ms Short is reedeming her self. Maybe she should have done things differently in relation to Iraq, however people's histroy make the person.
She is absolutly correct about electoral reform. The current system is as useful as a wooden coffee table in mark oaten's house!!! The free market thinkers, democratic socialists and the maverick MP are diserpering. Whether you agree with their views or not, they are esential to a vibrant inclusive democracy.
She has resigned the whip? What a flashback - soon they'll find her hung with a bin liner and an orange in her mouth. Those were the days, when politicians knew how to disgrace themselves...

She claimed Blair had told 'half-truths', which is rather a kind judgment under the circumstances.
I can't remember anything Blair said that was even half-true.

Ah well its nice to dream.............
Short at 25 to 1 for the next Labour Deputy on Guardian Online doesn't look too good does it?
Wow. Only 3 years too late. Bravo Claire!
Respect ... ?
Claire, no. You wait until your book is about to be published. Then she never was the brightest wax crayon in the box, was she?
As a Ladywood Conservative, I'm naturally following this one closely. Any more details?
So one embittered brummie-sounding politician leaves the Party? I guess Sion Simon can fill the void.
Great, so now 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.
A bit late Claire. Should have gone with Cookie and rescued your integrity. I'm sure the next volume of you memoirs will be out conveniently soon.
Did you hear about the one about funny Brummies? Note, this survey was taken before Sion Simon rose to prominence. Balls to Ladywood?
I'd give her one.
Sir Albert Bore, anyone?
She can go back to being her charming brummie self now.
Perhaps she's got a video immitating Anne Widecombe coming out on?
"Yer I'm Anne you can sleep with me ... please."
I remeber them pics wot the Sun had with her in just a skimpy top.
phwoar
'Now now Tony there's no need to cry, she won't be coming back'
10th item on the BBC, & no headline. Yawn.
You mean this Albert Bore?

This attack on Alistair Campbell is very strong, too. Hope to see more of the same.

Gawd...I didn't even know that she was alive....
She is now whingeing about the whips office...it is really quite pathetic.

They must have mould on them by now
To think of Claire Short as having principles is enough to make you realise how little the whole of NuLab have between them.
Personally, I would be more impressed if she was to resign her Labour membership card!
As for BBC have your say - it just makes you realise how the Chinese must feel like with state censorship!

big interfering fat fucker
