Well, let's see the good side, at least, it's someone who worked very hard for it through and years and didn't gave up despite the many defeats.

I may not agree with him politically, but I usually respect people fighting for years to win a seat. Now, the issue might be him clinging at his seat when it will be next up.

Havering LB, Rainham & Wennington - Independent Resident disqualified for non-attendance on 28th December

Vale of White Horse DC, Wantage Charlton - Conservative sitting as Independent sentenced to 5 years imprisonmen

do you know which RA cllr in Rainham? Tucker or one of his cronies (I grew up there, long story, much dislike, also involves third way of all people)

that group has been fairly dominant round there for a long while, that could end up as a four way fight (RA, Lab, Con, UKIP) with a non-negigible BNP vote too, wouldn't be surprised by another UKIP gain

what's the story in Wantage, lol

There will be no by-election in Havering, vancancy will be filled in London at-large elections in May. The expelled councillor is Mark Logan, from Tucker group, absent for health reasons (http://www.romfordrecorder.co.uk/news/seriously_ill_havering_councillor_sacked_1_3199066)

For Wantage, he lost all the wealth (154,000£) of a lady he had attorney power over, in slot machines (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2513867/Tory-councillor-John-Morgan-gambled-away-womans-life-savings.html)

from (non-socialist) Labour or from another left grouplet?

From Labour (Jim McDermott, Eastbury ward, Barking and Dagenham London Borough).

As most defections in London right now, it's him being upset over his deselection.

Holy Words here agus an seo.

and there for Kernow (Cornwall).

Cornwall is part of England.

I'm aware, but the Cornwall previews aren't on the England website. I'm not the one hosting the previews, so, don't shoot the messenger.

Non natives of the British Isles now have to guess how 'Leominster' is pronounced.

Since you're asking the question, I'm pretty the answer isn't Leo-min-ster.

Following the logic than Wednesday is pronounced Wens-day and Worcester is Worster, I would guess Leoster or Leomster?
