Councillor Brian Haley, one of the country’s most senior black Labour councillors, resigned from the Labour party today and joined the Liberal Democrats. He had been a Labour member for 16 years. His move comes after Haringey was rated one of the worst councils in the country.
This brings the number of Liberal Democrat Councillors in Haringey to 26 – well on course to take control of the council in May – while Labour now have 30.
Councillor Brian Haley, of St Ann’s Ward said:
Over the last few months it has become ever clearer that Labour has absolutely no vision to lift Haringey out of its current mess.
It is for this reason I have taken the difficult decision to leave Labour and join the only party that has the ideas and ability to turn things around.
The Liberal Democrats in Haringey are the only party with the drive and determination to provide local residents with the quality of service they deserve.
I would urge anyone wavering in their support for Labour to join me and back the Liberal Democrats which offers positive local change.
