The Spectator reports:

Harriet Yeo, the former chairman of Labour’s National Executive Committee between 2012 and 2013, has quit the party over Ed Miliband’s refusal to offer a referendum. Although she hasn’t joined Ukip, she will be lending her support to the party at the next election…

According to LabourList, she was removed as leader of the Labour group on Ashford Council last week. Following this, Yeo was deselected as a candidate for the local elections and quit the party the next day.
