Took them long enough. They had no interest in actually doing this, or tackling rampant corruption in their party generally, just finally caved to public pressure.
More evidence of Tory corruption. Vote independent or for Labour candidates that voted for a ceasefire.

Oh dear more Tory cheats what a surprise !!!!!!!!!!
They even look like the creeps they're supposed to be.
MP for Royston Veysey ?
Well, they do look very Tory !
More Tory normality
