British MPs Stage Biggest Revolt Against Governing Party in a Century

HeadlineFeb 27, 2003

Rebel MPs included over 120 from Blair’s own Labour Party, as well as over 50 Liberal Democrats and even two dozen Conservatives and nationalists. But Tony Blair still has won twice as many votes as the opposition.
