Leicester Tory infighting

Leicester Labour blogger Vijay Singh Riyait reports that all is not sweetness and light amongst the city's Conservatives:

at a meeting of the Leicester Tory Party executive this week they tried to pass a motion to expel former tory Aylestone Council candidate, Peter Bedford who dared to challenge the current leadership in its failed electoral campaign. I have learnt from someone present at the meeting that a motion to expel Peter was narrowly defeated by 10-9.
