Malvern Councillor joins UKIP

UKIP is, by my reckoning, welcoming a defection every week so far this year and this week's is Cllr Mike Soley.

Cllr Soley resigned from the Tories last month after the Tory group on Malvern District Councillor tried to whip their councillors to vote for a local development plan and introduction of wheelie bins that they had previously voted to oppose and then threatened to discipline him and other councillors for their disloyalty.

Cllr Soley has now made the move to UKIP.
