NEW: Chaos broke out at Bexley Council last night, with a source telling me Tory councillors started shouting at each other over a planning dispute. It seems to have all been about a Go Ape project in Danson Park (in the heart of the Borough).
One source tells me a councillor was left shaken after someone in their own party threatened them. Extremely bizarre scenes. Reform UK (who secured several councillors locally last election) tell me they were left perplexed, as Tory councillors "seemed not to care". They called it a "pantomime".
A bad smell all around. Planning issues often get heated, but I must admit I've never seen them descend into this sort of chaos before.
I’m stunned. The Sunday Times is reporting Hampshire police wanted to portray Henry Nowak as the aggressor in an official statement three days after his death, but changed their wording following outrage from his family.
I’ll be covering this shocking and contemptible revelation from the hosting chair on The Late Show Live. @GBNEWS 12am.
Keir Starmer has posted about Eid, Arsenal (multiple times) and social housing. He’s said nothing about Henry Nowak’s brutal murder by a rampaging, knife-wielding Sikh lunatic, aided and abetted by his lying mother and brother. We all know why.
🚨NEW: Henry Nowak's father has revealed that his son told police he couldn't breathe nine times, and that he had been stabbed four times, but they replied "I don't think you have, mate"
He also says the scene as police arrived was not as complex as they claim
According to Henry Nowaks father he told the police he could not breathe 9 times
He told them he had been stabbed 4 times
They ignored him every time.
And instead dragged his dying body across the gravel and threw him in handcuffs
All three belong in a jail cell.
No mercy
Neither @SkyNews nor the @BBCNews channel covered the Nowak family statement from outside the court.
Of course @GBNEWS did.
@Keir_Starmer remains silent, like the pathetic coward he is.
Well, Good People of Britain, we clearly know who our enemies are.
Ive heard several accounts now and they all say the same thing. The vote they decided to use should NEVER have been allowed to be reintroduced and there was pressure from @Conservatives also to allow it. There should have been another recount in @BandLWardNews too.
@ElectoralCommUK needs to investigate and @reformparty_uk@ReformUKLondon@ReformUKBexley need to challenge it.
What makes it worse is apparently the Tories are pressuring @LBofBexley staff to not allow Reform have a group room. As procedures state they should have access to a private room/office and admin. Lib Dems did when they were the 3rd party. Officers had made arrangements but the tories won't give up their spare room. They have 3. Labour have 2.
Go figure this. Bexley Council own Danson Park but are happy to entertain the possibility of Go Ape destroying one of the jewels that Bexley has. Residents are against this. What are Bexley Council hoping to gain? The mantra as always “Follow the money.” Who gains from this?
For the first time, millions of football fans will have to pay extra to watch the #Champions League Final. It isn't currently on the 'crown jewels' of listed events (requiring it to be free to air) which the government can and should periodically review. Obviously the @Conservatives could have fixed that but never bothered. Obviously not enough hospitality for them.
She’s talking utter rubbish.
The Conservatives spent the entire campaign criticising Reform for focusing on national issues, so if that’s the case, why would our voters suddenly change their minds in a General Election?
Stay consistent, Kemi 🤦♂️
@BonkersBexley@Andrew__Kennedy Oh he knows. But doesn't care. Politics dear boy.... but do spill.
We have London elections next year. GE in 2029 and Council in 2030.
Now I'm retired as a Councillor I can get back to using this account again and get back to normal life. No more piles of papers and meetings to start with.
