i guess we can take that as a sign as to what we can expect to happen in the coming days then; war and further resignations. I think Claire short should be fired anyway for speaking out from within the party. But you have to remember that went you are part of a political group, you have a collective responsibility, and what you say reflects on the whole group, which is why she should go before she has the chance to resign.

They have obviously recognised that they have individual responsibilities that are more important than the outward appearance of the group.

Claire Short will get fired though.

Whats most significant is he is former Foreign Secretary. In this post he had access to foreign intelligence, then again he was in Cabinet meetings where whatever top secret info they have was presented, yet he thinks there is no case for war with no UN backing
