The new Leader of Tunbridge Wells Borough Council trumpeted on his election that he would be a unifier. So, what has he achieved so far?
As reported in an earlier blog, a councillor has resigned following the de-selection of the former Leader Roy Bullock. Bullock, to his credit, has maintained a dignified silence.
The Chairman of the Conservative Group on the Council, John Smith, remains de-selected. He had the temerity to support loyally Roy Bullock.
Most recently we have had one Tory councillor taking lumps out of a fellowTory councillor courtesy of the letters page of the local newspaper. Cllr Dr Linda Hall (presumably she uses the 'Dr' to impress us - fat chance!) informs us that Cllr Tracy Moore is 'too young, naive and ignorant'. Bitchy.
Good unifying stuff!

Update: My mole informs me that the lady chosen to replace John Smith as the Conservative candidate has not been approved by those in charge of such matters. However unclear if this means John Smith is re-selected or stays de-selected!!
