Apparently panicked by the local elections results in May, ex-independent councillor of Hindley Green ward, Frank Carmichael has jumped ship from the independents and joined Wigan Labour.
Frank Carmichael, your Independent/Labour/Tory/Liberal voice in Hindley Green.
UKIP thinks he should have stood down and stood for re-election in May like other councillors. This would have cost nothing and allowed the voters to have a say. If residents of Hindley Green had wanted a Labour councillor they would have voted for one.
His public announcement of his defection to Labour, days after the elections is seen as many as a cynical ploy to retain his seat next year.
Lets hope Frank behaves himself, otherwise we know what happens to errant Wigan Labour councillors...
Ex Labour Councillor up on fraud charges
