We have been reliably informed by insiders within Barking CLP, that, during the summer recess the North Street Mafia have been planning how to bring down the Leadership within the council Labour Group, a group we are told they feel NO loyalty towards because of course "they" are not leading it!!!!
We understand that their first salvo will take place at the Group meeting due to take place this coming Monday. Where we have been told they will attack one of the Cabinet members who they believe has fallen down on the job, whose service they believe is crap, of course it isn't, but, as usual when you get enough people shouting, as they no doubt will it wont be easy for the Cabinet member to get a word in.
This is just the start, their plan we understand is to pick them off 1 by 1 until they can then force through a vote of no confidence in the Leader who selected the Cabinet.
Should be an interesting and entertaining meeting on Monday, especially as the Chief Whip is very firmly in the North Street Mafia, BUT, there is of course always a glimmer of hope, that is that the stupid fools have failed to inform the Chairman in writing 7 days before the meeting that they are going to bring the issue up.
If they haven't of course that stops the conversation dead.
Lets wait and see shall we?
how did the attack go at mondays group meeting? did they inform the chair in advance do you know?
ReplyDeleteThe current cabinet wont be the same cabinet next may so i am not sure that a vote of no confidence would be possible. The leader will deselect the underperforming members himself as already stated in Dagenham clp circles.
Seems to me editor, that the storm clouds mentioned, never actually materialised, did they? Mind you, almost all of the things that you so vehemently opposed, have come to nought when you think about it. Rob Chapman, still where he was. St. Margaret still where she was.
ReplyDeleteCardinals Rodwell, and Twomey still there. The nun Couling also still there. So please tell, as it is so intriguing, where do you get your "so called information", and if I were you, I would get rid of them, and seek better judgement. An Observer
