“
I was one of a number of members elected on a manifesto to deliver better transparency and scrutiny over the party's finances and governance.
I'm sad to say we failed to do that, and it wasn't for the want of trying.
I just regret it's come to this. I would like those who stood in the way of reform back in 2020-21 to reflect on what they've done.
