Fantastic news. And bizarre behaviour from the party to ever block him anyway.
The only thing that worries me is that this seems to be a trip up on technacalities that the regional party were unable to handle, rather than an issue about why/how Gavin was suspended in the first place.
But not a big welcome. It really shows the shallowness of the ‘liberatarian’ – or “selfishness” as it should be called arguments that driving while drunk is considered OK unless you harm someone.
There no nothing that can compensate for having some killed or seriously injured by a drunk driver. I hope Gavin reconsiders his views.
Gets my vote.
My kind of libertarian entirely; good to see him officially back on board. Jennie nails it completely in her comment on Alex’s blog.
