Outgoing Tory MP Switches Allegiance To Labour

An outgoing Tory MP has introduced that he’s becoming a member of the Labour Birthday celebration and can assistance them within the normal election.

Mark Logan, who had represented Bolton North East for the Conservatives since 2019, stated Labour may just “bring back optimism into British life”.

He instructed the BBC: “I believe as a politician it’s incumbent upon me to be able to say, to look people in the eyes in Bolton and say that I believe that a Labour government is going to serve you better, your interests better, it’s going to be better for your pockets, it’s better for the economy, it’s going to be better for the UK.”

Logan turns into the 3rd Tory MP in slightly a past to change to Labour, following Dan Poulter and Natalie Elphicke.

Christian Wakeford, who used to be elected Conservative MP for Bury South in 2019, defected to Labour in January, 2022.

Logan stated: “When I look back to my teenage years, in 1997 when Labour came to the fore at that time and we obviously heard the song Things Can Only Get Better, I feel that we’re at that point again in British politics and British history.”

He added: “For my constituents and for the country, it’s right that we get some stability back into the UK, we get optimism, we get new and fresh ideas.”

Logan stated Rishi Sunak – who he sponsored to be Tory chief – may just “leave politics with his head held high” if he loses the election on July 4.

However he stated: “It’s more about not the the push factor of Conservatives, but the pull factor of Keir Starmer, the new cabinet that would come in, the fresh faces, the fresh ideas.”

A Conservative supply stated: “Much of the association wanted Mark Logan deselected for inactivity and his failure to be present in Bolton for extended periods of time.

“He has been lobbying No.10 for a peerage, so he didn’t have to bother with voters and has now jumped ship. People will reach their own conclusions as to his motivations.”
