Interesting times continue in Portsmouth (see here and here for previous stories):

A second Conservative councillor has crossed the floor and joined the Lib Dems.

Central Southsea councillor Margaret Adair quit her party on Friday and signed up to the rivals.

As reported in The News, Cllr Adair was expected to follow in the footsteps of former Tory councillor Lee Hunt, who quit his party after claiming he was the victim of an internal hate campaign.

You can read the rest of the story from the local newspaper here.
