Commenting on revelations by the BBC on the Today Programme yesterday morning that many key local Labour party members are abandoning the party with “dozens and dozens” switching to the local Liberal Democrats, Lib Dem Prospective Parliamentary candidate for Hornsey and Wood Green, Lynne Featherstone said:

“I think this reflects what we are finding on the doorstep, and it shows that many Labour supporters are moving over to us. There are simply too many issues where Labour has let its members and supporters down. It is not just over the Iraq war, but extends to top-up fees, Post Office closures, Tube privatisation and a range of other issues – all of which the outgoing Labour MP has voted for.”
