Labour council candidate joins Lib Dems in Harrogate
The Harrogate Advertiser reports that Tyler Reeton has joined the Liberal Democrats in Harrogate:
A former Labour candidate who would have become North Yorkshire County Council’s youngest councillor if elected has quit the party to join the Liberal Democrats…
In a statement posted on Twitter, he said: “This hasn’t been an easy decision for me to make because I have been a Labour Party member since 2015 and I joined the party when I was just 14-years-old…
“I have had time to reconsider my values and principles in politics and I have decided that the Liberal Democrats and their passion for local people inspires me.”
Welcome to the party, Tyler.

Good luck for his future
Just the kind of recruit we need – young, idealistic and keen on some form of progressive alliance. I join Nigel in wishing all the very best.
