DAVID WARBURTON RESIGNS! Somerset Independents Led the Way While Others Followed

 

One of our Official emblems

We called for the Tory Somerton and Frome MP to go last year - at last and at least, he's done the right thing! We kept the pressure up for months and years. We investigated David Warburton many times and published here on this website.

The Mail on Sunday is reporting that Somerton and Frome's disgraced Conservative MP David Warburton has now quit!

"David Warburton, 57, says he is resigning his seat because he was denied a fair hearing by a parliamentary harassment watchdog investigating allegations that he made unwanted advances to two women.

But in an exclusive interview with this newspaper, he admitted taking cocaine after drinking 'incredibly potent' Japanese whisky with a third woman – who secretly photographed and recorded him after he visited her flat following a late-night vote in the House of Commons."

Somerset Independents puts residents first. For years, we listened to residents who complained to us that they were not being represented in the Somerton and Frome constituency by David Warburton.

Andrew Pope challenged the Conservative Chief Whip, Mark Spencer, who did nothing. We showed the type of company that David Warburton kept, including former Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron, and it was not pretty.

We showed his register of interests. And we showed that he was a disgraced Conservative - NOT a real Independent MP.

And we were the first to say that Warburton should resign. Others followed our lead, from the other Westminster parties.

The people of Somerset deserve better than the Tory MPs who do not represent them. 

Will the new MP be any good? Time will tell.
