Whilst everyone has gone off to bed for an early night, I have been catching up on the local newspapers from the back end of last week.
Am I the only one who thinks it is odd that a Lib Dem councillor on Southend leaves to join the Liberal Party and become part of the Independent Group and not a word is uttered by the 'Independents'. Nice to see the Independents sticking to their pledge of keeping party politics out of local government.
Yet an Independent councillor leaves the Independent Group to join the Conservatives and the 'Independents' are outraged. The irony. Politics can be a strange old game. Churchill crossed the floor twice. I wonder if the Independents would have asked him to stand down and force a by-election?
