An unofficial and entirely scurrilous account detailing the gossip and scandal of Kingston's failing council.
Don’t believe the Lib Dem literature. This election across our area is neck and neck between the Lib Dems and the Independents! There is NO risk of letting the Conservatives or Reform in, as they claim! Don’t believe me? Check for yourself! pollcheck.co.uk/locals-2026#/k…
The Tories used to hold most of the 104 councils up this time outside of London. I reckon they'll control just two after these elections...

Tonight’s oncoming turquoise tsunami should be a wake up call for the left. It’s time for the left to unite, to come together, and time to build a real alternative to Starmer’s ‘Labour’.
I have a copy of the Burn Book, also known as Trigger Me Timbers. In a group chat, the Audenshaw local election result was discussed. The vote was extremely close. As we counted on the night, we believed our candidate, Daniel Mather, may have won. However, during the verification process, the results told a different story—and now we know why. Cllr. George Newton informed the group that Cllr. Brenda Warrington, the former Leader of the Council, instructed a staff member to “find votes.” Andrew Gwynne confirmed that she did this. George then boasted, “83 of them”— the exact number by which Daniel Mather lost. It is alleged that votes were removed from Hurst Labour candidate Cllr. Leigh Drennan, who subsequently lost to Councillor Dan Costello. It was well known that Brenda and Leigh did not see eye to eye. The integrity of elections is fundamental to public trust in democracy. Here, we have an open admission from Denton Labour that they rigged an election. There must be serious consequences, including criminal charges.
