HAVING moved into the Clifton area, I was interested to learn that one of my councillors, Helen Douglas, had seemingly overnight transferred her allegiance to the Conservatives. Why, I wondered?
Then I read that she had been deselected by Labour. I can’t help feeling that had she been selected she would still be a Labour councillor and would also have faced elections.
