Ex-MP for Bolton NE is leaving the Conservative Party and joining Labour. Doesn't technically count as a defection, as Parliament has been prorogued, but is in principle... www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd11kvk1je4o |

Will he get a Labour constituency to fight…? No, he hasn't put his application in to Labour yet, so he's standing down. |

It might be why they won't let Diane Abbott stand again. They want to keep Hackney North and Stoke Newington vacant  |

Doesn't technically count as a defection, as Parliament has been prorogued, but is in principle... www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd11kvk1je4oAny politician who decides, after years of being a conservative that he or indeed she is suddenly a socialist, is quite clearly selling his soul to save his job. Quite clearly any politician who campaigned to be a conservative MP then sat on the government benches while no doubt criticising Labour, who now says they are really socialists, should not be trusted and I hope their constituents tell them so. |
