Reform UK’s flagship Durham County Council has won a national award for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. If that’s not funny, I’m Suella Braverman. But there are rather fewer laughs to be had over at the Labour citadel of Camden Council, which cleared a man who was now serving 18 years for 56 sexual offences against children, and the Leader of which has just become the MP for Holborn and St Pancras.
Sagal Abdi-Wali has made great play of her record of volunteering, but no one has been able to find any charity in which she had ever been actively involved, and now her line is that she had been talking about her childhood, when her mother had taken her along to “all kinds of events and get-togethers”. Yes, Zack Polanski lied about having been a spokesperson for the British Red Cross. But he is not an MP.
What if Labour lost the Camden Square byelection?
