Labour Leader To Leave Council (from Surrey Comet)
This is quite sad news!
Throughout my time as Conservative Leader on Kingston Council the Leader of the Labour group and myself have had a good working relationship. There are times when I felt he could be accused of being too close to the Lib Dems but then what can I expect when the Lib Dems nationally are now quite close to Labour. Ed has always been honest and open about where he stands on an issue and I have largely respected and admired his stances.
I think he is right that that the decline of Labour in Kingston is a mirror of the ebb and flow of Blair. However there have been times when Ed's predecessors, especially when there was no overall control in Kingston, acted too much to support the Lib Dem opposition rather than support their own line.
I wish him well but despite everything I think he will miss it!
