Hounslow Independent Alliance

"Since the publication of the report there has been a split within the local Labour party over the nominations for certain seats in the borough. A number of sitting Councillors were not re-selected and this has prompted them to stand as candidates for the Hounslow Independent Alliance which is a coalition of former Labour and Liberal Democrat Councillors."Anyone know what this is about? Who's moved over to HIA and what caused  them not to be re-selected?

It is also interesting to see that Vanessa Smith, until recently the Chair of the local Labour Party, is standing in Hanworth Park for the HIA. That is a major defection if ever there was one.
