But hang on, I thought she was saying that the NHS was safer/better off in the hands of the Lib Dems, yet it seems her reason for leaving the Labour party was Brexit and nothing to do with the NHS. Does she really believe that the NHS is better off in the hands of the Lib Dems?
Sorry, but I think that letter is unscrupulous.

So if what she wrote denotes lack of scruples on her part, why are some blaming the Lib-Dems for her opinions..?

"Mr Coyle says a vote for him is a vote for his “brand of Labour” in this election – not the Labour party.
It doesn’t quite echo what he said the year he was elected, when he told the News he thought the electorate was “voting based on how people perceive the values of political parties”.
But after denying he ever said a vote for him was a vote for Labour, the Bermondsey and Old Southwark candidate simply says it will be his name on the ballot paper on June 8."
Basically he's almost a one-man party and those tempted to vote for him due to their approval of Corbyn are misplacing their affections...

I'm sure the party would've sanctioned the letter.
