It appears the Labour Party is disintegrating at both a national and local level as a consequence of loosing it moral compass and the traditional values that Labour stands for. Their attacks on the poorest in our society (the disabled, pensioners those with more than two children etc), it's disgraceful immigration policies and failure to welcome historic immigration to the UK, it's support for the Israeli government in committing genocide in Gaza, it's failure to move rapidly to net zero and thereby contributing to global heating and its continuing support for the rich who are growing richer by the day whilst the poor are getting poorer) is shameful.
But rather than a reassessment of why things are going so wrong the LP appears to be hunkering down in the bunker and threatening members if they show dissent. No wonder so many historic supporters and members are dissolusioned and seeking alternatives.
Gen Kitchen may well be right about Swanspool gardens and the failure of the town council to cease an opportunity to improve our town (and I agree on this - the Tory controlled council is bereft of ideas and solutions to it's decline) but her reaction was disgraceful.
Gen Kitchen should be suspended from the house for 14 days for bringing the role of MP's into disrepute over her foul langage. Then a recall petition can be invoked, get Labour out, REFORM in.
The Labour Party is falling apart. It’s traditional working-class base, many of whom came back to them after voting Conservative in 2019 to break the Brexit paralysis, have discovered they have moved squarely towards the centre-right and only seem to care about their middle-class metropolitan voters (many of whom are in London).
Reform will capitalise on this come 2029, especially now Corbyn has created his own party.
I'm confused what the option B was that the council was going to vote for that she was so upset about? While her behaviour is not laudable, I do understand the frustration of putting a lot of work into getting funding (that the town sorely needs) to renovating and reusing a historic and pretty building for the community, only for it to be scrapped.
Anyone care to enlighten me what happened at the town council meeting?
I cannot tell you how let down I feel by Labour only to read this and wake up to more national humiliations!
Not reported on NN was the national story behind the criminal activity with cigarettes and correlating that with a Northampton's Alderman's business who was fined for illegal cigarettes to children.
We need to respect our politicians and police but how can we with Northampton's track record?
Is NN Journal keeping tabs on the way County MPs are voting on key issues as well? They need shaming over disability benefits and their silence/complicity over the Labour Governments complicity in the Palestinian genocide.
Removed a series of comments here and suggest the argument is taken back to the CLP. We’ll continue to follow this story and report the next instalment as it happens. Anyone who wants to get in touch, confidence is guaranteed.
The article should have focused more on the upheld complaint. He should be standing down as The leader of Corby Town Council. Disgraceful behaviour, how did he pass due diligence?

In the last four months the Northamptonshire Green party gained 125 new members. That's one per day. Many are refugees from the Labour Party.

Good riddance to Labour AND the Tories.

Option a and b were about different locations on the site for the proposed adventure golf course.
We did not attend the meeting but here is the report from the Northants Telegraph. https://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/people/future-of-wellingborough-swanspool-gardens-and-pavilion-in-doubt-as-new-council-rejects-adventure-golf-attraction-5190699
Bullying and harassment, horrendous!

At least it shows that Gen Kitchen is a normal human being frustrated by the ins and outs of politics!

Bullying complaint was upheld by the Labour Party after an investigation.
Been hearing about issues in Corby Labour for as long as can remember.
