If they were sworn to secrecy how come the Dame was 'in the know' and posting the news on Friday night? It is clear the Dame has friends in high places at WCC. More scoops please! She is particularly keen to know when Cllr Lee Rowley will resign. This is a perfect time for the sensible wing of the Majority Group to clean out the Augean Stables-so to speak.
"Mr Barrow, 59, who has led Westminster council for four years, told stunned Cabinet colleagues of his decision on Friday evening. They were sworn to secrecy until a formal announcement was made on Saturday. He insisted the departure was for personal reasons unrelated to the furore over parking and wanted to "change gear". However, senior Tory sources he had been left with no option but to quit after realising he had become hopelessly isolated within Westminster's ruling Tory group. "He didn't have his ducks in a row and he had no supporters,"
Dear Dame, your network is just awesome.
ReplyDeleteRespect to the Dame!
Conservative councillors in K&C (and Cllr Buckmaster in particular) should take a leaf out of the Westminster book and make sure that Cllr Cockell resigns forthwith as Leader of K&C "for personal reasons"
ReplyDeleteHow much longer will K&C continue with monster Cockell as Leader?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if Lee Rowley is even entertaining resigning. He's so thick skinnned and full of self belief that I think it's going to take his mummy to tell him his political career is over, before walking him out of WCC by his ear.
