That's two of the worst Tory councils right there. Barnet council's privatisation fetish is pretty bad.

Westminster Council have been bad for some time, and the Conservative's losing control of Westminster council would also be embarrassing for my local MP, who was a particularly bad Conservative Westminster councillor!

That said, I still think that Labour should be further ahead in the polls given the state of the government at present and that worryingly, the underlying reasons for this are not wholly connected to the big problem I have with Labour right now either.

Westminster Tory councils have a long record of course. I have vivid and sickening memories of Shirley Porter.

Wasn't Lee Rowley one of the 62 Brextremists who sent Theresa May that blackmailing letter?

Showed himself to be utterly clueless about international trade and more interested in internal Tory maneuvering than the common good by signing that delusional letter.
