I was a bit surprised by the move from Conservative to Independent by Sue Cook in Winchester. She has been one of the more vocal and able opposition councillors. I gather there is disquiet and personality clashed in the Conservative group, as well as concern about the Government's performance.

Southampton, Coxford. Barrie Margetts, Labour to No Description. Given we know Southampton Labour have been selecting for May, could we speculate on the reasons for this? |

It's very sad the corrupt NEC keeps hampering local parties instead of supporting them.

Does Margetts have any factional notoriety? We can all make evidence-free claims about corruption (though the NEC has no involvement in local council selections) but there are in fact other reasons that people fail their panel interviews.
