Kemi Badenoch must expel Susan Hall for backing rival Rupert Lowe and Restore Britain - Lib Dems
EMBARGO: IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Liberal Democrats have called on Kemi Badenoch to “show some backbone” and remove Susan Hall from the Conservative Party, after she joined the advisory board of Rupert Lowe’s new political movement ‘Restore Britain’.
Lib Dem London Spokesperson Luke Taylor MP said that either Susan Hall’s values “are out of step with the Conservative Party, or the Conservative Party has lurched even further to the right out of desperation.”
Badenoch is already under pressure over not removing the whip from George Freeman MP, who has referred himself to the parliamentary watchdog over cash for questions claims.
Luke Taylor MP, Liberal Democrat spokesperson for London, said:
“Conservative group leader Susan Hall has shown once again just how unfit she was to be the Mayor of London. Either her views are out of step with the Conservative Party, or the Conservative Party has lurched even further to the right out of desperation.
“Kemi Badenoch needs to show some backbone and remove her from the Conservative Party. If she doesn’t, she’s admitting that the policies of Restore Britain are acceptable to the Conservatives.
“Either way, London deserves better than Restore Britain and Susan Hall, who are totally out of step with the values of our city. It’s time for Kemi Badenoch to do the right thing.”
