No surprises there then. Labour made only half the gains I was expecting (†),
very few residents know the extent of Bexley Tories’ lies and those that do, know
that it is a better Council than those further to the west
I am hoping that the influx of new and young Councillors will eventually lead to
more honesty than we see under Bexley’s current leadership.
The best news of the night is that Northumberland Heath was not impressed by
Aaron Newbury whose Twitter Profile was extraordinarily arrogant. “Opinions my
own, and they are all tremendously good”. Nice to see him taken down a peg or two.
Congratulations to the remainder especially Councillor Frazer Brooks in
Falconwood. A man who has already shown himself to be independent minded and
considerate of members of the public.
† The Northumberland Heath result was almost inevitable but I thought that there
might be a chance of a random win in either Crayford or East Wickham.
