2. Six Ministers voted against PM.

After a humbling near miss yesterday the Prime Minister has promised his partyroom that he will fix things.

But it seems that the PM might be in for a short ride with reports that at least six ministers voted against him. 39 out of 101 Liberal MPs and senators voted for the spill yesterday – a number that has many calling the Prime Minster a “dead man walking”.

In an interview with 7.30 last night he repeated a statement he made to the party room earlier yesterday “I am hopeless at fighting the Liberal Party, I am brilliant at fighting the Labor Party.”

Former Howard government minister Peter Reith told Sky News that there was a continued threat to the Prime Minister of losing his position as a “serious number” of the ministry would peel away from him now because the vote against him was so high. Those supporting Malcolm Turnbull say they will wait until after the May budget  before pushing for him to replace the Prime Minister.

14. Drinking wine can help burn fat.

Probably not the news we needed to hear during Febfast but we will take what we can get.

A study, in the Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry has shown that that drinking wine or red grape juice in moderation was useful in helping obese people manage their health, especially metabolic disorders such as fatty liver.

One of the study’s author’s Neil Shay, a biochemist and molecular biologist from the University of Oregon said that the wine or juice had to be consumed in moderation.

“We didn’t find, and we didn’t expect to, that these compounds would improve body weight,” he said.

“But by boosting the burning of fat, especially in the liver, they may improve liver function in overweight people. If we could develop a dietary strategy for reducing the harmful accumulation of fat in the liver, using common foods like grapes would be good news.”
