The debate.....

is at full swing and Chris Huhne is on the floor.

However his free flow is being constantly interupted ad forced to give way.

Meanwhile one of the Labour rebels Paul Flynn says on his blog that the rebels now number 20.

It not the just the arm twisting that may be reducing the Labour 42 days rebels. There is a highly suspicious enthusiasm from the Uber Blairphiliacs (UBs) to see a Gordon Brown defeat. The UBs are not loved on the left, the habitat of the 42 days rebels. Their motives are not pure.
Some minds have been changed because of Labour loyalties. Mostly women MPs are shifting because they do not want the party to suffer another kicking. There have been several summonses to 10 Downing Street for interviews with the leader. Some have been bribed, bullied or bamboozled into changing their minds. At least one will cast a David Taylor vote and vote for and against. That’s the only way to register an abstention.
