I sense another example of someone who is in politics to uphold their deeply-held principle of...being in politics.

It seems that the six councillors elected as Conservatives to Brent borough council have formed themselves into two groups of three on the council. It appears to be Reg Colwill, Suresh Kansagra and Bhiku Patel in the Conservative group, and Joel Davidson, Carol Shaw and John Warren in the Brondesbury Park Conservatives group.

Any stated reasons for this? Shaw is an ex-LibDem, isn't she.....

It looks like Carol Shaw has gone Conservative -> Liberal Democrat -> Conservative -> Brondesbury Park Conservative in the course of her council career.
The Conservatives won only the two wards - Kenton and Brondesbury Park. The latter was a gain from Liberal Democrat (although with Shaw as a sitting councillor). It seems the Kenton councillors are more easygoing while the Brondesbury Park group are all for outright opposing the Labour administration - they voted against changes to scrutiny arrangements at the annual meeting, while the Kenton group abstained.

Thought I'd posted this one, but apparently not: David Sheldon (West Sussex CC, Horsham Tanbridge & Broadbridge Heath , and Horsham DC, Denne), from LibDem to Independent. David runs a charity which is campaigning actively against government funding cuts. I've spoken to David (not trying to recruit him, but just because I know him well and like him) and he's unlikely to be joining any other party.

They have their 15 minutes of fame, I suppose.

Cameron, Clegg and Miliband are all buffoons on this. Ignoring Hillsborough, they should have better things to do with their time.
