Description: In the top frame a man yells 'STOP! Don't do it Phil! Things will get better, I swear...' In the lower frame leader of the Labour Party Phil Goff sits reading a newspaper with a headline that reads 'Libyan politician defects to escape oblivion'; he says 'Bloody hell! Can't a man read the paper without people jumping to the wrong conclusion?' Context - The Labour Party has been suffering a series of problems that are very bad news for Phil Goff in the lead up to the 2011 election. And Moussa Koussa, the Libyan foreign minister, last night defected from Col Muammar Gaddafi's government after flying to Britain, telling officials he was "no longer willing" to serve the regime. Mr Koussa flew from Tunisia, where he had been on a diplomatic mission, and landed at Farnborough airport before being shuttled to London for immediate talks with high-ranking Foreign Office officials. Mr Koussa was one of the leading figures in Col Gaddafi's government and one of the architects of Libya's recent rehabilitation in the eyes of the international community. As such, his departure represents a significant scalp both for the coalition against Col Gaddafi and the rebels seeking his overthrow, and will fuel speculation that more defections could follow.
