B.C. NDP leader Carole James has kicked Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson out of caucus for criticizing her leadership in an online blog posting. James is angry about online comments made by Simpson questioning her leadership and suggesting the party is struggling with her at the helm. She said the two spoke Wednesday night and she informed Simpson of her decision. She said Simpson has made it clear he would rather criticize the party’s work than contribute to it, so they have parted ways.
