I ASSUME you are angry and let down (Citizen Letters: October 5) because some of your friends in the Labour group kept you in the dark about all the Crinkley Bottom conniving (although, if you had read local papers you might have worried that it was not going to turn out well).

But, why then did you turn on me when I helped to make sure the party could not carry on with its secretive follies?

You played a key part in the proceedings which led to my being expelled from the Labour Party.

Yet, I was only trying to make it the better and more honest and open party that I think you would like it to be.
