The councillor from Spain: an update

I blogged before about David Murphy, the Labour councillor in Rochdale who has been living in South West Europe. He was eventually expelled from the Labour group, but has now popped up again in the town. Rochdale Online reports:

David Murphy can serve yet another 6 months, at your expense, as a Councillor despite moving to Murcia in Spain! His attendance at last night’s 15 minute Council Meeting has ensured that he can continue to live by the coast in Spain at taxpayer’s expense. Labour withdrew the whip from Councillor Murphy in May, 9 months after Councillor Murphy’s controversial continental secret was revealed.
