I was horrified to read Friday’s South London Press and discover that 8 Lambeth Labour councillors hadn’t been paying council tax for more than two months. So bad that they weren’t allowed to vote on the annual Lambeth Council budget!

I used to be the Southwark Liberal Democrat chief whip. Such a situation wasn’t possible. We’d have expelled councillors from our group for such outrageous behaviour.

It will be interesting this coming Tuesday to see if Southwark Labour also have this problem to add to Southwark Labours already long list of problems.
