Tony Jones' Departure from LABOUR is an Indictment of Gordon Brown
08 May 2008
|
Commenting on Cllr Tony Jones' resignation from the Labour Party, Cllr Gareth Epps, Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group on Reading Borough Council, said:-
"Tony's decision is courageous and deserves credit. It is clear that the Labour Party has moved so far that people like Tony, steeped in the traditions of the Labour movement, now feel they have no place in it. It is an indictment of the politics of Gordon Brown."
He continued - "We share his view on the comments of some of the stunts used by the previous Labour administration. These should have had no place in politics.
Tony may well find, when he has had chance to reflect, that on a number of issues such as tax for the lowest paid and Post Offices, as well as issues closer to home, that he will be able to work with us at this exciting time for Reading. In time I hope he will find the political home that many former Labour Party members up and down the country have found - and join the Liberal Democrats."
