It is fair comment that he was one of the more low profile of the 2019 Tory intake (though if "high profile" means the likes of Anderson or Gullis that is maybe not automatically a bad thing) Interesting that he mentions Israel/Palestine as a reason for the switch, which does somewhat go against the narrative of certain people. Surely only the most politically obsessed could even pick him out of a lineup of one. This intervention might be the only notable thing he's done!

Good. If the sort of things I've heard about him over the years are true, that he's bone idle etc., good riddance. The rebuilding job doesn't need indolent careerists who pilfer the fruits of other people's efforts, nor frankly does should the party have anyone who is comfortable in a party led by a self described socialist. "... nor frankly does should the party have anyone who is comfortable in a party ..." ??

From a purely non-partisan perspective, and being well acquainted with numerous reliable people, Logan is widely regarded as one of the worst quality and most useless people elected for us in 2019. He refused to do any campaigning in his seat since, has fallen out massively with his association, ran a dysfunctional parliamentary office, and was regularly observed turning up to work in a state best described as “tired and emotional” (with the accompanying smell to prove it). I cast no judgment on his motives for changing allegiance, nor its relevance to wider debates. That’s simply the long-standing impression I’ve been given of the man. It’s fair enough if you think he is terrible and we’ve heard similar things about other defectors. It would be useful if you could tell us who the remaining awful Conservatives are BEFORE they defect. Thanks in advance. I would happily, but I've never had reason to before now. My views of him are completely unchanged by and unconnected to his actions yesterday.

Personally, I'd prefer this forum didn't turn into an internet gossip rag. His character is relevent to his defection and that's why I and others raised it.

Rumours in Welsh Labour of certain MSs resigning whip to stand as Independent Welsh Labour - not just because of Gething but because of imposition of UK Labour candidates in Cardiff W and Swansea W in UK GE.

Rumours from a nationalist unsourced source? Just nationalist gossip mongering, unless you actually source it properly. Personally I doubt you can.

There is definitely smoke - not sure yet how big is the fire. Should be clearer after Monday.

Should file in the amazing stupidity thread. Would appear to have bought a new car earlier in the year, transferred her plates but chose to stick them on with tape above the plates that previously where on the car.

Would someone be so kind as to produce a list of candidate defections during this election campaign (as in candidates switching from one party to another or being suspended as a candidate post the close of nominations) because I have quite frankly lost count.

It appears that Lee Waters (MS for Llanelli) has resigned Labour whip. His absence in the GE campaign supporting Labour in Llanelli was noticeable. Not clear what his plans are...

This does not really count since he lost his seat at the general election, but Marcus Fysh quit the Conservative Party the day after he lost Yeovil to the Liberal Democrats: www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3ge4kd8kl9o
