No change at Calamity Hall

Strange as it might seem, we rather tend to agree with council leader Chris Holley in that there is likely to be no difference within Swansea Council over a single Lib Dem resignation. The timing is admittedly a little strange but the decision is not entirely unexpected given the individual involved. In all practical respects, we anticipate the same blundering stalemate to prevail at the hands of the ruling administration, regardless of evened out voting figures.

An equally significant (non) event is that Labour leader David Phillips went unchallenged at the recent AGM – despite well-trailed rumours of a popular coup. No reason has been given by the purported challenger’s camp but it's noticeable that the present incumbent is also keeping schtum.
