Andy Sloan, one of the three Tory Councillors in Liberal Democrat-controlled Hull, has been forced to resign after being caught out still claiming his councillor’s allowance even though he has lived and worked in Guernsey since August and hasn’t attended a Council meeting since June.
Andy, of course, was elected as a Liberal Democrat originally but was suspended by the party whilst some rather erratic behaviour was being investigated by the Region. He then bizarrely joined the Consevative Group on Hull, justifying this in an article in the Yorkshire Post which carried the heading: I want real values, so I turned to the Tories. Just a pity he didn’t have any values of his own. The Tories in Yorkshire look pretty silly this morning.
