Brown suffers defeat
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has suffered a humiliating defeat in a mid-term election for a vacant parliamentary seat, the latest setback coming exactly a year after he took power.
The Labor candidate for the vacant parliamentary seat in Henley-on-Thames town, close to London, came fifth in the poll, held on Thursday.
