I don't think Andy Boddington ever left the party, but he did part company with the council group for a while.

Is the South Kesteven one related to a leisure centre issue?

Not a councillor but a well-known figure. JVL officer & suspended Labour Party NEC member, Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi, has been expelled from the Labour Party. I don't mind saying that I myself reported her so my reaction to this news is not unpredictable

Again the usual suspects are shrieking "but she's Jewish!!" as if (even if true) this gave one immunity from being AS in any way ever.

Even at the worst part of my corbynista cult phase (ie before I politically grew up), I never particularly liked her. Good riddance

Labour Cllr Lou Cunningham - Armley, Leeds - has joined the greens.
Up for re-election in May…

I think she'll achieve a creditable second place, but Armley is very strongly Labour even in times when they're struggling. Yes... you're right. Really, we'd be better going unitary rather than (in many cases) boundaries that don't really fit.

Any background to this one, given that he was elected as Labour just months ago? I can't find anything further, except that he has been further changed from Unaligned to part of the Allied Independents group on the council website. For an updated on this: he's now teamed up with the sole Green Party councillor to form a Green/Independent group.

Don't know if she's been featured in the Councillors administratively suspended by their party thread, but Joy Wallace (Haringey, Fortis Green ward) has been expelled from the Labour Party for some frankly pretty gross & crude antisemitic stuff dating back not very far, 2020 the one I've seen. It's pretty eyebrow-raising she was allowed to stand for Labour in May
