We’ve had news on Labour councillors stepping down before and the Morning Star is a well-known left-wing source of news. I don’t see a problem with this
I doubt many people in Sefton itself could name these two.
How many people know the councillors from their neighbouring wards unless they are a council bigwig? Personally, I didn’t know one of them but I voted the other one in.
The significance is that this is coming on the back of other councillors stepping down last week and a slow trickle of resignations over the last few months. Individually, it might not be a big deal but it is part of a larger trend that is worth reporting on.
You consider two councillors that make decisions for just under 300K people to be non-entities? What does someone have to be to be worth reporting on for you?
Complete non-entities given a story on a non-entity website.
Why do you keep posting stories from this utter shite?

Councillors represent wards within that area. These two probably represent about 10k-ish people each?
The majority group in a council usually forms the cabinet, which makes most local decisions for an area.
I appreciate stories like this
Because it shows there are self-important people at all levels of politics?
It’s the largest worker owned paper in this country.
It is also such a “non-entity” that it was targeted by spooks multiple times (and apparently read by Margaret Thatcher)
Yeah. During the Cold War.
Things have moved on a bit since then.
