It was rumoured several months ago and yesterday Councillor James Hunt X’d that it was more than a rumour and
today it is official. The woman who said that criticising Councillors is criminal and those that engage in such activitities,
i.e. me, should be arrested will not be standing for re-election next May and
will not be Leader from November. Boris Johnson’s most favoured London politician
(he said so publicly and in writing) will soon be gone.
Teresa O’Neill presided over a difficult period for all Councils with funding steadily
reduced by successive Governments and was never quite directly associated with
the criminal activities of some of her Councillors and Senior Officers so one
might say she did reasonably well in the circumstances, but there is no denying
that Bexley went steadily downhill during the seventeen years of her Leadership.
Reform UK will be denied the chance of soundly beating her in eight months time.
