19.51.52 TONY BLAIR: REAX TO DEFECTION...great news. It shows that even life-long Conservatives are deserting the Conservative Party...whatever the facade of ubity they put up at that party conference, people even in their own ranks know that they don't have the leadership, the direction or purpose that Britain needs.
19.52.18 GOVERNMENT'S MAJORITY = GONE - PLAN TO TEST THAT POSITION WITH A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE? Certainly test the gov position whenever we can. The truth is they're not governing anymore anyway and the reason why...because they can see it's got no leadership, no direction no sense of purpose for Britain...reality of a Conservative Party that is divided & incapable really of offering government.
