Two Respect councillors on Bradford City Council suspended - Mohammad Shabbir (Heaton ward) and Ishtiaq Ahmed (Manningham ward). Apparently because they annoyed G Galloway by not supporting his bid to lose his deposit standing for Mayor of London. What a shame |

I wonder if Labour would find a home for them if they were to change sides?

How come he can just suspend the councillors like that? Unless they are bringing his party into disrepute (yes, yes - what reputation do they have anyway?), why can he just act like that?

I don't know if either of them has been in labour before, Cllr Shabbir was a conservative in the past and was then a Lib Dem until the Bradford West byelection

I'm sure that they've all been in as many parties as Billy Hughes.

Reading Helen Pidd's article rather than the tweet, suggests that the suspensions were consequent on a dispute over selection of candidates (possibly read imposition) for the wards concerned |

Nilgun Genver Labour cabinet member for Environment on Haringey LBC has resigned following being charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice .
I have no idea as to what the charges relate to .

If memory serves correctly, she's normally known as Nilgun Canver?

I have no idea as to what the charges relate to . I found only proof she resigned from the Cabinet. No information on Council, through, so I'll suppose she didn't. |
