    Complete non-entities given a story on a non-entity website.

    Why do you keep posting stories from this utter shite?

      We’ve had news on Labour councillors stepping down before and the Morning Star is a well-known left-wing source of news. I don’t see a problem with this

        Two councillors stepping down in an area where they would vote for a donkey if it wore a red rosette is not a story.

        I doubt many people in Sefton itself could name these two. Yet it’s supposed to be of national interest?

          I doubt many people in Sefton itself could name these two.

          How many people know the councillors from their neighbouring wards unless they are a council bigwig? Personally, I didn’t know one of them but I voted the other one in.

          The significance is that this is coming on the back of other councillors stepping down last week and a slow trickle of resignations over the last few months. Individually, it might not be a big deal but it is part of a larger trend that is worth reporting on.

        Because it shows there are self-important people at all levels of politics?

      You consider two councillors that make decisions for just under 300K people to be non-entities? What does someone have to be to be worth reporting on for you?

        Councillors represent wards within that area. These two probably represent about 10k-ish people each?

          The majority group in a council usually forms the cabinet, which makes most local decisions for an area.

        Yeah. During the Cold War.

        Things have moved on a bit since then.
