My Lib Dem opponent at the last election has offically left that party and joined Labour in a bit of a huff. He complains the Coalition is "drowning families in debt". He seems to have forgotten who got us into this mess in the first place - his new best friends in the Labour Party.
I also distinctly remember him using the criticism at the last election that the Labour party was drowning families in Northumberland in debt.
The good people of Northumberland have very long memories.
On a lighter note Mr Duffield is known for his personalised number plate, proudly displaying: L16 DEM. Presumably not quite the message he wants to send out given his new loyalties. Perhaps Mr Cable might take it off his hands?
