Short resigns...

Clare Short has resigned as a Labour MP and will continue to sit as an independent for the remainder of this parliament.

This is hardly surprising news, although somewhat belated. I think resigning now, will make very little difference to anything.

Clare Short missed her big chance to worry the Government she has come to see as “arrogant and error prone” when she should of resigned in the build up to the Iraq war. Then she could of really done something with other Labour backbenchers who felt likewise.

Will be interesting to see if she chooses to stand as an independent at the next election.
