I expected to hear something as to housing after Ed Miliband started the ball rolling last week, however this is nowhere near enough and is in reality,although welcome, a case of too little too late I would say.

As for the other MP defecting to UKIP, I have nothing but contempt for MP's who switch parties and this close to an election is farcical.
At this rate voters will be sick of hearing of by elections and therefore elections by the time the 2015 one comes along.

I am not now Conservative but Conservative funds, workers and time and effort helped get this MP elected he should at the very least along with the pathetic Carswell, have waited until the 2015 election.
For me it is a major betrayal and would demonstrate to me that neither of these MPs were people to trust again.
