Hoey to back Boris for Mayor job?

The BBC is reporting that Gisela Stuart and Graham Stringer have resigned from the "I want a referendum" campaign committe, after Geoff Hoon threatened to withdraw the Labour whip.  But Frank Field and Kate Hoey have said they are still fully committed to the project which targets pro-European MPs with small majorities  (all bar one of whom just happen to be Labour).

Chippenham Constituency Labour Party has now been joined by another CLP, Aberconwy in North Wales, in unanimously passing a motion condemning the Labour MP Kate Hoey and calling for action by the Parliamentary Labour Party Chief Whip and the NEC over her chairing of the 'Countryside Alliance'.
