So – another one bites the dust.

Cllr Sheik Thomson, who was Mayor of Haringey for Labour only the year before last, has resigned from the Labour party and become an independent. Last week Cllr Brian Haley resigned from Labour and joined the LibDems. Just before that, Labour Cllr Alan Dobbie resigned from Labour to become a Tory.

They are dropping like flies. With votes now on the casting vote of the Mayor – that would explain why Labour suddenly cancelled the budget meeting that was set for next Monday.

Roll on the local elections of May 6!
