In other news from that there London...lutfur rahman rises from the political dead to become elected mayor of Tower Hamlets.
Can't wait for Private Eye to get stuck into that as they pointed out for years that he was a wrong 'un as were his enablers.
Another unflushable turd.
Well that's quite an achievement for Labour to lose control of Croydon, considering the huge swell of support for Labour across the capital and their previous comfortable majority in the town hall, I really didn't think they would manage to do that.
I suspect that despite the obvious fact that many voters will have been fed up with the blairite council staggering from one crises and scandal to the next crises and scandal, that Labour probably severely struggled to find activists to go out and do election work.
This should be a lesson for everyone to learn from - the right-wing Labour group in Croydon has in a very large part been moulded by left-hating Progress MP Steve Reed and the current Labour General Secretary/Starmer adviser David Evans.
But of course the lessons won't be learnt and the Greens will probably be blamed for splitting the Labour vote whilst the Labour leadership will carry on doing what they are best at - expelling party members. Although obviously not the ones who bankrupted the scandal ridden council.
