HMS Sefton Tories: Another one jumps overboard!

"When will Sefton Conservatives stop hemorrhaging councillors?" asks colleague Tony Robertson. This time well respected Harrington Ward (Formby) Cllr. Gill Cuthbertson has resigned the Tory Whip.

She follows a long line of Conservatives who have either left of their own volition or been suspended/deselected. It all started with Wendy Jones of Crosby who was deselected a few years ago and Les Byrom who jumped ship to Labour. Now there are 4 Independent Tories (3 of them suspended from the Tory Group), another who went to UKIP (also Harrington Ward) and Anne Ibbs who was deselected in Ravenmeols ward.

What an unhappy ship HMS Sefton Tories must be!

The news comes from colleague Cllr Tony Robertson
