Did Jenny Barnard-Langston jump or was she pushed?

I'm sure the local Conservative Party is hoping the members who left the party because of what they perceived to be lack of commitment at the last General Election will now return.

I, for one, will not lament Jenny going. As mayor she excelled but, since then, has come to believe she is bigger and better than the party she supposedly represented.

She has fted both Labour and Lib-Dems over the past few months as she saw her political life waning.

Unfortunately, the Lib-Dems drew the short straw.
