Burnley? The travails of UKIP have rather distorted things in recent years though.

Newcastle-under-Lyme. Just from memory a couple who went LD-Lab-Independent, a Green_Independent, two UKIP-Independent and two Labour-Independent.

300 pages of local defections Some for scandal Most for not many successful selections
Across the county, as legend does sing These are a few of my favourite things
300 pages of senior councillor volt-faces From Stoke and Thurrock and other important....plaaaaces (Sorry)
Those loyal foot soliders And mayors who thought they were Kings These are a few of my favourite things
When the 6-month rule Starts to nibble I know one rule as read
You simply have to cross the chamber and then Things don't quite seem so bad!
300 pages of letters to local newspapers Mostly to grumble, many face savers
All local Councillors with new ideas to bring
Defections are some of my favourite things!
When the time comes When the axe falls When the selection interview's crap
I simply click "new post" on this very thread 300 pages don't seem so baaaaaaaad!

"the ghost of W T McGonagall likes this" Oh it wasn't written to be taken seriously, I was quite bored and just a touch tipsy.

Just over a month after becoming the largest party, the SNP once again become the largest party Joint largest - They and the Tories would have 17 each..... EXCEPT the article seems to indicate that she's going to serve as independent councillor rather than join the SNP group.

Jim Fleming, councillor for Cosham in Portsmouth, Conservative to Independent. The rest of us are now going to buy lots and lots of popcorn and watch the forthcoming ruckus within the Portsmouth Conservatives.

Sir Patrick Stewart has publicly withdrawn his lifelong support for Labour over disagreements with Corbyn and says that he will probably vote Green instead.

Sir Patrick Stewart has publicly withdrawn his lifelong support for Labour over disagreements with Corbyn and says that he will probably vote Green instead. He has claimed that he "doesn't know what Labour stands for any more", but the only specific accusation he has made is that Corbyn was snappy with him at a party - Sir Patrick recalled a frosty first encounter with the Labour leader a few weeks ago, saying: “He was talking to a group of my friends after a theatre performance and I wandered up to join them.
“Jeremy’s eye caught mine and he said ‘oh you’re looking very well’, and I made some light-hearted riposte along the lines of ‘you can’t judge a book by its cover’.
“For some inexplicable reason, this annoyed him, and he shot back ‘you know, Patrick, you could just have said thank you instead of making a joke out of it'.
“I couldn’t understand how he could take offence at such an utterly innocuous remark, and no one else could, and it made for rather an awkward silence. I just thought ‘oh well, I tried’, and, after a suitable interval, I discreetly headed off home.”
