How many councillors are leaving the sinking ship?

May 15, 2008 2:23pm

A senior Tory tells me, over a cup of Earl Grey, that 30 Labour/Lib Dem councillors have defected to the Conservatives in the last 12 months.

Only one Tory councillor has quit the party during the same period.

UPDATE:

Mea culpa - apparently my source (who should know better - you know who you are) has underestimated the number of Tory defections. Here is a link with some extra information.
