Angela Richardson re-appointed: So much for a principled stand

Angela Richardson MP has been reappointed to a government job less than 24 hours after losing it to vote against the Leadsom Amendment due to “a matter of principle”.

Responding to Angela Richardson MP being re-appointed as Michael Gove’s PPS, Liberal Democrat MP Sarah Olney said: “So much for a principled stand. It says a lot about your politics when your ethical standards don’t last more than 24 hours.

“No wonder voters in the Blue Wall have had enough of Tory sleaze and corruption. This is just not cricket.”
