The chair of Uxbridge Labour has quit the role and given up his party membership, saying “politics needs to have principles”.
David Williams, chair of the Uxbridge and South Ruislip Constituency Labour Party, wrote in a tweet: “I have resigned as chair of Uxbridge and South Ruislip CLP. I am also resigning my membership of the Labour Party.
“Politics needs to have principles or we end up with people like Boris Johnson and Liz Truss running the country, Jeremy Corbyn gave a huge boost to the Labour Party.”
It comes after the Tories narrowly held off Labour in the seat, which was vacated by former prime minister Boris Johnson.
