, the commitment to levelling up, the managing of Covid and the Ukraine crisis, what’s happened recently is completely unacceptable.”
Councillor Carter had backed Mr Johnson as Prime Minister when he succeeded Theresa May in 2019, suggesting then that people may be “pleasantly surprised” by the former London mayor. But on Wednesday afternoon he offered his backing to Pudsey, Horsforth & Aireborough MP Stuart Andrew, who hours earlier had resigned as the government’s housing minister.Councillor Carter said: “Stuart has been a good friend of mine for many years. He’s an honourable man and a hard-working MP.“Enough is enough. It’s time for the Conservative Party and the country to move on. We can’t go on like this.
Councillor Carter’s Conservatives currently hold 21 of Leeds’ 99 council seats, against the ruling Labour group’s 58.
