MO GONE MISSING: THE DAME SENDS OUT SEARCH PARTY

Missing Mo
 

Dear Dame (Fount of All Knowledge),

Can you tell us what has happened to Cllr. Mo Bakhtiar?  

One minute he is Deputy Mayor & then Leader of the Opposition. 

Then he survives the purge of the sensible Labour Councillors (even if he did need to change wards ) 

Next thing he becomes a non-person, without a single committee place. The ever cryptic Labour Whip now tells enquirers that "He is not a Labour Councillor ".

If that is so has anyone told Kensington Labour Party Members and much less the constituents who elected him?

Is Cllr. Bakhtiar just another victim of the Dent Coad purge who was useful to keep in place when the rest of the serious Labour Councillors were canned?  Is he actually now doing anything to justify his position and basic allowance?

But do not spare any sympathy for 'No friends Mo'. 

His was the 'swing vote ' that led to the removal of useful Cllrs. Press, Henderson, Atkinson, Blakeman,Nail & Healy from office & their replacement by such, well paid, incompetents as Elnaghi and Thaxter. 

His reward for treachery was to be given the position of Labour Group Leader (with its generous allowance) until Dent Coad was ready to resume her place as Labour Leader. 

His usefulness at an end, Bakhtiar was then
unceremoniously dumped back on the back benches.

This leaves a couple of mysteries that one hopes The  Dame can solve :

1. What was the hold that Dent Coad held over the luckless Bakhtiar?

2. Has he been suspended by the Labour Party? If he has is this not a matter for RBKC Council also? .....Further, when will these matters be resolved? 

Equally, do they have any relevance to the forthcoming & hotly contested selection of Labour's Parliamentary  Candidate?
