Can’t Nick Robinson add up?

Thank you Will Howells for pointing this out. The BBC website says there are 286 English Labour MPs, plus 193 Tory, 47 LibDem and 2 other. That gives Labour a clear majority. That rather drives a coach and horses through Monsieur Robinson’s posting today, which was based on this question:

Wouldn’t (the English Grand Committee) proposal (if it were in operation now) mean that Gordon Brown had no Commons majority for Labour’s key priorities “schoolsnhospitals”?

"There is a refreshing frankness to the musings of Liberal Burblings which single this blog out. The ability to not mince one's words is highly prized here and, when combined with the ability to profane without insulting the reader's intelligence, is excellent. Whether pondering on the state of the Lib Dems, the country or the world at large, you can rely on Liberal Burblings to tell it like he thinks it is." - www.politics.co.uk

The father, son, and the holy ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.
