A man called Quentin joins Labour
Gordon Brown has his first mandate, albeit one of one, with Quentin Davies joining Labour from the Tories. His resignation letter to David Cameron contains some pretty strong criticism:It is fair to say that you have so far made a shambles of your foreign policy, and that would be a great handicap to you - and, more seriously, to the country - if you ever came to power...But the last year has been a series of shocks and disappointments. You have displayed to the full both the vacuity and the cynicism of your favourite slogan 'change to win'.
His reasons for going seem a mixed bag - he mentions the Tories' anti-Europeanism, anti-inequality, anti-nuclear power, and lots of other things. I think he might just not like David Cameron and George Osborne.
