Four Tory councillors quit in Merton
From the Wimbledon Guardian:
Four Conservative councillors dramatically resigned from their group at a council meeting tonight over claims of “backstabbing and duplicity” in the party.
The resignations of Councillor Suzanne Evans, for Hillside ward, and Councillor Richard Hilton, for Lower Morden, Councillor Rod Scott for Raynes Park and Councillor Linda Scott, also for Raynes Park, come after the group elected Councillor Oonagh Moulton on Monday as their third leader in three months.
