Portsmouth Labour chief wades into Lib Dem Solitaire row
Councillor Stephen Morgan believes its high time for a ‘proper opposition’ to the ruling Tories in Portsmouth.
Cllr Gerald Vernon-Jackson was pictured playing a game of cards on his phone at the December debate. He insists his phone was away when members of the public spoke, but said the council encourages members to use their phones at meetings.

Whilst others played Russian roulette with our public services, the Lib Dem Group leader played card games. It’s time for a proper opposition in Portsmouth.’
