Round up the usual suspects – the Lib Dem benefits rebellion

The debate on the Benefits Uprating Bill is well underway, and a small band of Liberal Democrats are rebelling against the 1% rise. Some of these used Twitter to announce and clarify their position on the bill, and the same name appear across the blogosphere, including posts from Guido and Stephen Tall.

The rebels in question are Sarah Teather, John Leech, Adrian Sanders, and Julian Huppert. 

Andrew George is also a possibility.

Anyone else getting a sense of deja-vu?
