@Varlene23 @VisitSouthall @_petermason Four candidates for three positions, right? How many members voted? How many voted for you?
Read more@Varlene23 @VisitSouthall @_petermason How many?
Read more@Varlene23 @VisitSouthall @_petermason They are genuine questions not personal criticism. What was the procedure/mechanism by which you came to be a councilllor candidate in your ward, and how many other candidates were there?
Read more@Varlene23 @VisitSouthall @_petermason I’m not lying to you, either, and I’m able to support my assertions with actual evidence rather than just appeals to unity, conformity and obedience. The point is, some of us in Southall and Ealing know from bitter experience that Ealing Labour is definitely NOT on our side.
Read more@Varlene23 @VisitSouthall @_petermason No one is blaming anyone for their assigned role. He had a job to do and failed. It’s called being accountable. Your devotion and loyalty to your new leader is remarkable. How did you get selected as a Labour candidate? How many other candidates were there in your ward?
Read more@Varlene23 @VisitSouthall @_petermason Mason wrote the 2018 manifesto. He oversaw the mass overdevelopment of Southall (and Acton) while cabinet lead for housing. He failed to pay Ealing Council workers the London Living Wage while Ealing’s LLW Champion. He actively shut down Southall voices. drive.google.com/file/d/1hZfSB-… t.co/g1v2MrlEM…
Read more@Varlene23 @VisitSouthall @_petermason It’s not new leadership. It’s the same old failed leadership Mason was a major part of since 2010. His friends and cabinet colleagues describe him as “callous, ruthless and sectarian”. You ask for our support, but where was Peter when we asked for his?
Read more@Varlene23 Not my words, Varlene. The words of @VisitSouthall, who neatly summarised the views of the local community in Southall. Nothing has changed for the better in over twenty years of Ealing Labour running Southall.
