The Leader of a flagship Tory Council has quit the Conservatives and joined Labour in protest at David Cameron's priority to give millionaires a tax-break rather than help working people struggling to pay their bills.
The Daily Mirror highlights the Tory tax chaos which led to the defection which rocked the Tories.
Terry Hipsey says Cameron should have listened to Ken Clarke who at the weekend tried to play down Tory plans for a tax break for millionaires by saying it was only an "aspiration".

“There is a fundamental breakdown of relationships between some officers and members, adversely affecting the capacity and running of the Council. A mutual lack of trust and a high degree of suspicion is affecting governance arrangements, member decision making, interaction with officers and the ability of officers to operate corporately.”
...nothing to do with this then?
A nasty rumour suggests that the Tories hold control of Thurrock with BNP supports. Now what does "No good Boyo" aka "Call me Dave" say about that ?
