It is what it says on the top of the moors between Colne and Haworth/Oakworth. Ridiculous.

My longest-standing friend from schooldays, a Bennite lefty of the old-school whose wife is very much of a similar view, has a daughter who is active in the Bristol Labour Party and she was horrified at the behaviour of the Momentum members at Party meetings, saying there were threats and bullying - all this told to her Mum and Dad, from whom she developed her left-wing views. Firmly on the left but she views Momentum types in Bristol with contempt, and many others in the local party feel the same. I have a feeling that not many tears will be shed by those on all wings of the Bristol Labour Party at these defections.

There is a complete difference of approach between the Momentum types, who behave like a total insular clique and barely acknowledge anyone else's contribution to the party, and the non-Momentum left who know that a harmonious party is worth having and also accept there are people in other factions who shouldn't be discouraged from helping.

Tbh the claim that only 5 councillors in Bristol's sizeable Labour group were "on the left" instantly triggered my bull***t detector anyway.

I'm surprised she didn't join the Cliché Party

Sharing one email? And what was in the email does anyone know? On the face of it this looks like the complete disciplinary nonsense that all parties now have to put up with.

It seems to have been a confidential complaint about officers, which he then forwarded straight to said officers, saying "You didn't get this from me!"

This saddens me more than a typical Green defection. There really ought to be a place for people who have concerns with aspects of the transgender rights agenda within the party.

"Tories Recruit Crook Councillor". Why, don't they have enough of those already?

She was the lowest of two independents elected in crook the third elected was Labour. She will have her work cut out to hold on I’d imagine.

Bit odd to describe her as ‘longstanding’ given she lost re-election in 2013 so has served for fewer than 10 years and even those were intermittent. Nonetheless, the Tories will have won her ward in 2019 (though comfortably not so in 2017) so she will probably win re-election in her new colours.
