Rumour has it that Andy Kinsey, a new arrival in Tameside politics has put his name forward to stand in the 2012 local elections in Longdendale for the Labour Party. That's odd as it's Councillor Sean Parker-Perry's turn to stand next year. Could a challenge be on the way?Already, Andy has made a name for himself by printing this leaflet of lies. He's already a committee member for the

The Advertiser have issued what must be a press release from the Labour Party. It claims that the coalition government has forced staff to claim voluntary redundancy! The article states that 32 out of 148 staff have put in for voluntary redundancy, a choice of their own. One of the "concerned" parents, Elanor Priestly is a Labour Party activist according to her Twitter account, however the

Cuts haven't hit Greater Manchester Police in Tameside. We have 15 extra police officers, who piss about on their iPhones using the Facebook app so it seems. Presumably for the lulz.GMP Droylsden East clearly have a sick sense of humour with their favourite quotation "I fought the law and the law won....". A reference to the famous song from The Clash.GMP Droylsden West are slightly more helpful

Just watch the chattering classes go on with themselves. It's all to do with that empowering diversity bollocks for minorities in our communities. T3SC gets millions in funding with public money being pumped in from all over the place. Enforcing political correctness in Tameside. It's about time this talking shop was closed down.Oh and Maria Bailey is in the video. She is a board member of T3SC

Labour Councillor, Jack Davies is to step down from his safe Ashton St. Peter's seat and retire from politics in May. I've been told he isn't well, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's more to do with the feud between him and Councillor Quinn in the mean way Kieran took the leadership from Roy Oldham.I'm told there was two contendors for the seat which is a battle of the councillors husbands.

For time now, I have been submitting questions to Tameside Council's Head of Democratic Services (and I use the term democratic loosely), for the council's rather undemocratic Civic Advisory Panel. The Panel is made up of has-been politicians and those representing "community" groups with their own vested interests and egos, with a view to climb the political ladder themselves. So lets have a

The next full council meeting will be on the 22nd of February at 5PM at Ashton Town Hall. I think Kieran Quinn will be giving some idea as what he will be cutting as other councils have done so in their meetings. I have asked some questions (most are duplicated or amended as the Civic Advisory Panel or Margaret Eddows (former Conservative councillor), refuses to ask them. Yet it's OK to have

Just a little public service announcement. Few of you may know that I have started the Tameside branch of the TaxPayers' Alliance. You can find our blog at the Tameside TPA website.I've just done a blog post detailing how Tameside Council spent £5,000 of taxpayers' money on leaflets teaching staff how and where to walk. Criminally, the budget came from Tameside's Older People's Partnership.The

A police source tells me that Councillor Andrew Doubleday for Denton South was spotted at local police station with Deputy Leader, Councillor John Taylor for the Dukinfield ward. Now it had nothing to do with Labour's campaign to stop police cuts (pictured), but to do with one councillors erratic behaviour. Which one could it be? Could Andrew Doubleday's behaviour at St. Laurence's cricket club

Tameside's next full council meeting is on at the 23rd of November at 5PM. I would strongly recommend more members of the public attend as it does show you how clueless our elected representatives are.If you want to ask a question, then you have to go through the council appointed "Civic Advisory Panel" who will decided if you question is appropriate to be asked.Here are my questions...Civic

Whilst not responding to FOI's, Tameside Council's borough solicitor and deputy chief executive finds time to write to staff in the weekly staff brief which is usually taken care of by Steven Pleasant.

Tameside Council's Chief Execuitve, Steven Pleasant sends out weekly emails to staff to let them know what's going on at the council. A theme over the past two weeks has been building over the inevitable job cuts. On the 8th of October, he headlined his newsletter with "Support with Change". The public sector darlings at Tameside council offices must be having trouble grasping the fact that they

Something is up at New Charter. Back in March they laid off their marketing director, David Rigby, but he likes to call himself "Head of Business Development" on his LinkedIn profile.But, hey, what's this? It looks like he has used that nice redundancy pay packet to set-up his own company called "David Rigby Communications" which was formed only a month later. He states:"Currently pleased to be

In Quinn's maiden speech as Executive Leader last night, he spoke of his "new politics" he has been banging on about in the press. He pointed to me in the middle of his speech saying that "I have things in store that will please Tameside's blogosphere of which you will read about in the press". So what could Kieran be up to? I have some suggestions for him...1. Getting rid of Roy's 2 Jags:I asked

In a shocking result, Labour Councillor for Longdendale, Roy Oldham has lost out in a leadership coup after serving as Executive Leader to Tameside Council for 30 years, making him the longest serving council leader in the country. Roy is replaced by Droylsden East councillor, Kieran Quinn.The contest has been ongoing for over two years. It is known that Roy had planned on stepping down due to

Labour are well underway in the process for selecting a new candidate to replace Stalybridge & Hyde MP, James Purnell who resigned in February.
