@crisortunity He survived a council-wide vote of no confidence by one vote last September, then lost the Labour leadership by one vote in May. We’ve gone from relatively experienced, strong, stable, and principled to new, inexperienced, weak, desperate to please and win votes, unprincipled.
Read more@crisortunity Long-serving former Ealing Council Leader told everyone that the London Ambulance Service had been fully consulted on the LTNs when they hadn’t. He probably would have held firm and kept LTNs, but was increasingly unpopular, and this was the final straw. mylondon.news/news/west-lond…

Read more@andy_hillier @crisortunity @_petermason @deirdrecostigan @RupaHuq @VirendraSharma Mason wrote Ealing Labour’s manifesto on which they were elected in 2018, with implementing LTNs being a feature. Two years later, nothing had been done to make LTNs happen. Last year they were able to ‘take advantage of covid’ for funding and imposing LTNs without consultation.
Read more@Gibbons2Caitlin @crisortunity Peter Mason was elected by a majority of one to be Ealing Labour’s new Leader, and therefore Leader of Ealing Council, in May 2021. One of the reasons his comrades voted for him is because of how badly his predecessor handled the imposition of LTNs. Local elections are next May.
