By Mark Pack | Thu 10th March 2011 - 12:25 pm

A trio of local council news:

Andrew Reeves reports on the sacking of a Scottish Labour councillor William O’Rourke over his comments about rape (and credit to Labour, they looked to have moved much more quickly and firmly than the Conservatives did in the recent similar case of Bill Aitken)
Horsham Conservative councillor Keith Shepherd has switched to the Liberal Democrats
Eastleigh councillor Keith Day has quit the Liberal Democrats and is now sitting as an independent
