9 March (Part 2) - Third time lucky!
At the end of last month
Bonkers briefly mentioned the rumours circulating about the leadership
of Reform UK’s Bexley branch. It seemed likely that Tom Bright who was their
Parliamentary candidate in Bexleyheath & Crayford in 2024 was on the way out.
Whilst I believed It to be fairly certain, no one would definitively say so. But now they have.
The stepping aside is for personal reasons; obviously.
Tom Bright will follow the dreadful Fothergill woman, who was Chairman in Old
Bexley & Sidcup until last Spring, into political oblivion, or maybe like her, the failed Councillors’ life raft which is Restore Britain.
I know who is going to replace Mr. Bright but it is
not my place to make the announcement before the new man does. A much better choice in my
opinion who I have met a few times and he lives in the middle of Bexleyheath
rather than far flung Sevenoaks or Woolwich.
I expect to see the new Chairman take a seat on Bexley Council in May bringing
with him much needed business experience.
