New Labour MP Christian Wakeford has said the Prime Minister’s reaction to the investigation into parties held across Whitehall during coronavirus restrictions had only strengthened his feeling that he was right to leave the Conservatives.
The Bury South MP told The House magazine there was no “final straw” that made him decide to leave the Tories, where he had been a member for 18 years.
But that the reactions of some former colleagues to his defection – and the actions of Boris Johnson since – had convinced him he had made the correct choice.
