Top Tory businessman defects to Labour with blast at party's 'f*** business' attitude

Iain Anderson, the founder of Cicero PR firm, said he was disillusioned with the party he's supported for nearly 40 years, saying: “It’s not the party it used to be — I can’t defend it."

Mr Anderson was named as LGBT+ business champion by Boris Johnson in 2021 but quit last year in disgust at the Government's handling of transgender rights.
