Brian Sedgemore defects? - 2 comments

Recess Monkey is reporting that Brian Sedgemore, retiring Labour MP for Hackney South & Shoreditch has defected to the Lib Dems.

Without wanting to trivialise matters, I think you can safely say Brian wasn't a happy bunny, as his final speech to the House shows...

Interestingly, the next speaker, Lib Dem Mark Oaten said the following:

Although I do not agree with all the points that he made, I admire his passion and commitment.
