BLOOD ON THE COUNCIL CHAMBER FLOOR

Its that time of year again when the annual bun fight takes place at the labour group AGM.  Many have said over the years that this was the "Night of the Long Knives" more often than not we are told it turns into the "Night of the Long Yawns".

Not this time we are told!!!!!!!! Mr (I like a bet) Twomey made his bid for power, most likely ill advised by Mother Mrs (Gloomy) Twomey.  What did he go for you might ask?????   Chief Whip  lol, boy did he get a pasting, 15 votes to S Tarrys 32, thats got to be worth more than 4 pints of blood on the floor in anyones money, but we dont gamble, so we will leave working out the odds to our readers.

We bet Gloomy Twomey is doing her Lady Macbeth scene wringing and washing her hands cos sonny boy didn't win.

Another really odd position on the night, that of Master Rodwell, NO position at all, not a thing, we couldn't believe it, when you consider he was Lead Member on what is probably the most powerful select committee in the council that of the Public Accounts.............does raise the question why? don't it? has Rodwell finally woken up to the fact that being Lead Member doesn't mean you get to touch any of the money.

Were none to happy with the appointment of Letchford to Lead Member of Children's Services Select Committee, and would like to be assured that a CRB check will take place.

Other than that no real major blood letting, so Tweedledum (Rodwell) and Tweedledee (Twomey) are relegated to the back benches, well lads that gets you closer to the door.
