Gary Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 This would have sparked a lot of debate on here 10 years ago! https://www.warrington-worldwide.co.uk/2023/10/28/council-leader-not-seeking-re-election-next-may-following-significant-personal-challenges/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confused52 Posted October 28, 2023 Report Share Posted October 28, 2023 There is much which could be said but it will be curtailed by the opening threats of litigation which he chose to put in there. I found it a most depressing letter and I will be glad to see the back of his administration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confused52 Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 And then there were 2 Deputy follows in leader’s footsteps and not seeking re-election - Warrington Worldwide (warrington-worldwide.co.uk) Everyone is now calling for Dr Broomhead to be the next. In practice the architect of the plan including the constant tosh about government cuts total and the replacement cash wheeze can be traced back to elsewhere in the finance area.

Possibly but the alternative explanation, which includes why they haven't gone now but are lingering to the next election seems more likely to me. That involves not wanting to be a magnet for bad news as the media attacks them as an example of Labour incompetence and arrogance in the period before a joint local and parliamentary election in May next year. If they are out of the picture by then it could remove the personality part which would be what the media would go for and hence tempers the arrogance part. The media is rather bad at dealing with stories based on large groups of numerate issues so they will probably get away with the incompetence too. My guess is that the broadcast media will have no appetite for criticising their chosen heroes in Labour form at the next election and the Warrington irritant that might have caused an upset will be gone. The decision will have been made in London by Labour's national campaign team, they only needed to say to the dynamic duo that if they were to attempt to stand the national party would oppose their selection.
