You shouldn't be. The Lib Dems did not to stand against the sitting Green councillor in previous elections, and only stood when we failed to find a candidate in 2019.

The death has been announced of Clayton Willis, Labour councillor for Tyn-y-nant division, Rhondda Cynon Taf council. Off-topic, but does anyone know why Clayton, as a first name, is little known outside South Wales? See also Byron. And Tyrone? Or is that a film thing. A few Tyrones known to my family, and I personally know a Tyrone in Milton Keynes, of Bridgend extraction. There was Tyrone O'Sullivan at Tower Colliery as another example.

I believe that muslim tradition demands that the funeral takes place within 24 hours, although I'm not sure how strictly it's kept ro in every family. Which makes sense if you think about where Islam originated and what would happen if you left the body out any longer - one of those religious rules that you feel might have started out as a purely practical arrangement
