19 June (Part 1) - The answer must be “No”

of Mr. Thorogood’s friends has complained that the loss of £7·5
million over which he presided in Newham has still not been adequately
covered. “When asked about the loss Paul Thorogood didn’t answer the question
three times. And this guy gets promoted. Doesn’t anyone in Bexley do background checks?”
True for the present at least, but it was
all covered here four years ago.
By the way, why is it that our former Director of Finance allows Newham Council
to hang on to £274,000 of Bexley Council’s money since 2021? (Newham
