[Brighton] Two Brighton & Hove Labour Cllrs Expelled!

[Cheshire Cat]

Out of interest does anyone know the definition of “living in Brighton”? For most councillors this isn’t an issue but how does it work for “edge” cases? For international residency it’s usually 6 months plus one day.

Usually a pop up tent in a doorway somewhere on the Old Steine.

Don't give up yet - you could even rise to the post of Home Secretary. He loves rundown working class towns.

He’s the one that runs them down.

I went to the Goldstone and Priestfield, I’d argue this is proportionate to meeting the criteria

Agreed, I think the age limit will be the only thing that might hold you back, come back in two years

At the risk of starting another argument The criteria has changed for EU citizens post Brexit - EU citizens that were living in the UK up to the 31 December 2020, will still retain their candidacy rights. After this dates, it depends on whether or not there is a reciprocal agreement in place for each Member State that allows British citizens living in the EU to stand for election. These are being separately negotiated. So far only Spain, Poland, Luxembourg and Portugal have reciprocity with the UK so any citizen of another European Country who arrived after 2020 will lose their voting and candidacy rights.

You won’t start an argument with me, I agree with everything thing you say

Police involved now, these two idiots even used the same spiel on different candidate attempts of othe councils and one even had a crack at being and MP for Morecombe , how the hell this Walter Mitty stuff got past the Regional party is beyond me, and to think poor old LRM was out banging their drum leading up to the elections!!

Are the two expelled councillors Leicester City fans?

If so, they were out foxed.

This rules me IN!

Thankfully my jokes and puns on social media, whilst awful, are not racist nor mock the ill.

Who will vote for Cllr Tubthumper?

Better start working on my manifesto I guess.

Where do I sign?

It reminds me of this news story about a local MP and former Councillor. No suggestion of any wrong doing or similarities, it just reminded me of it.

Sussex Police investigating these two charlatans
Labour confirmed that these two were selected by the Regional Party not the local team.

“Labour’s candidates for the local elections were selected by the regional party following scandals which saw a number of councillors suspended or quit the party over allegations of anti-Semitism.”

At f***ing last, now these two wards can have a bi election and hopefully the local party won’t be bullied into fronting outsiders who are obviously on the approved regional party list, pair of absolute ****s.

“It has been an immense privilege to serve my community, and more than anything I will miss the interactions with the residents whose causes I take up. Seeing their lives improved through the work I have done has been immensely rewarding.”

This woman is shameless writing that !

Is this not fraud? Is there a criminal investigation?

Is this not fraud? Is there a criminal investigation?

Who knows, I wonder if the Rt Hon member for that area signed the paperwork supporting these grifters?

Anyway the council will now have to fund a third by-election in less than a year of office, will the local tax payer be footing this bill or will the Labour Party step up and and cover the costs seeing as it’s their monumental clusterfuck? Sankey will blame the Greens and the Government for this shambles.

Whoever the Regional Party want to impose upon us i guess

Keir Starmer himself could be found holding a blood covered knife, standing over the body of a corpse, screaming “I did it, it was me, and I’ll do it again” and within three comments someone will still find a way to blame the Tories…

It would probably be the tories' fault, but I do wonder why Starmer is going to stab the corpse again
