Tim Yeo's deselection another sign that under David Cameron the Conservative Party is reverting to type - Jon Ashworth
Jon Ashworth MP, Labour’s Shadow Cabinet Office Minister, responding to the news that Tim Yeo MP has been dropped by the South Suffolk Conservative Association, said:
“Tim Yeo’s deselection is another sign that under David Cameron the Conservative Party is reverting to type, with no place for those who thought he meant it when he said ‘Vote blue, go green’.
"Just this week one Tory with modernising credentials has been deselected and another has quit, and David Cameron is trying to water down a green levy he introduced and even boasted about.
"It’s more evidence of the death of Tory modernisation. David Cameron’s party is becoming narrower and less open and moving further from the centre ground.”
