Sticking with the subject of fractured Conservative unity, we understand that Derrick the cat's owner (otherwise know as Rene Kinzett) has fallen out big time with his tory group colleagues on Swansea Council.
Details are a little confused but it is reported the semi-detached leader went ballistic on uncovering an alleged back-door deal between his group and the ruling coalition which traded support on key votes in exchange for a favourable response to one or two parochial issues.
No-one seems to be able to clarify if the quid-pro-quo arrangement actually went ahead as different versions keep emerging from various sources. Similarly, there is some discussion as to whether the often absent Kinzett was more pissed at being kept out of the loop or that his Mayals ward apparently failed to benefit in any way.
Whatever the circumstances, the gist is that Rockin' Rene has grassed up his group colleagues and the council leadership to the relevant authorities and earned himself some serious political enmity in the process - not that he was overly popular to start with.

The recent story in the papers was that Derrick has gone AWOL - but if this post is accurate then Kinzett has clearly lost more than just his cat.
Were all the conservative members involved in this fiasco??
If your story is correct Rene Kinzett should be applauded for having the GUTS to report alleged corruption when most others would have turned a 'blind eye'.
If the case is proven I hope all those involved will named and shamed and re-housed at 100 Oystermouth Road.
RE While the Cat's owner is away ...
If this is true then the Conservative Party association should intervene to find out what the hell is going on in Swansea.
The sooner Rene Kinzett stands for elected mayor, the sooner Swansea can reject him.
