Whenever Lib Dems in Gateshead meet, we inevitably discuss the next local elections, due in May next year. Candidate selection is going well, Focuses continue to be written, action days planned. All this was reported to the group.
Meanwhile, it was also reported to the group that in neighbouring Co Durham, currently with a Reform majority, a committee meeting was held which was attended by the opposition parties. By the time the Reform councillors turned up, the committee had got through all the business on the agenda. Reform can certainly teach us all how not to run a council!

If you get elected to a council by accident, knowing nothing about how it works and have never been told that it actually means coming to meetings and making decisions, then you behave exactly how many of Durham's Reform councillors have been doing.
I suspect that many more Reform councillors will join the trickle of resignations and disqualifications of Reform Councillors that we have already seen. And as our colleagues in Durham have just demonstrated we can win when they do.
