IN, OUT, SHAKE IT
ALL ABOUT!
We thought that the BBI had the monopoly on daft politics – but the Tories haven’t been in power five minutes and already they’re playing fast and loose over who does what at Worst Street.
Having led the Conservatives on Boston Borough for just a year – and having led them to victory last Thursday – Councillor Raymond Singleton-McGuire has stepped down from the post and handed the reins back to borough council veteran Peter Bedford, who is also current leader of Lincolnshire County Council with just a few weeks left to run.
The ex-leader becomes joint deputy with Michael Brookes – who only became a Tory a year ago when he left the independent group of the County Council.
Councillor Singleton-McGuire apparently feel that he needs to devote himself to the borough’s finances, which needs to much work that he can’t also be leader.
However, people are already asking: did he fall or was he pushed?
And we hear that many newly-elected Conservatives are less than happy at what’s been going on.
