Is Boris's Red Wall REALLY crumbling?
Though Labour-controlled, the council has been so badly run that, earlier this year, the Government sent in commissioners to ‘restore public trust’ in this basket-case administration.
Today, he is campaigning with fellow councillor, Liam Abrahams, 23, and candidate Craig Adams, 41, an amateur boxing coach. Once, Labour commanded the vast majority of the 75-seat council but its lead is now down to single figures. Local Tories are hoping that enough of that ‘insurgency’ sentiment will deprive Labour of overall control next week.
What is equally interesting is that Dr Mullen has previously called for Boris Johnson to resign himself. But he fully accepts that this is a minority view among his core voters. This is not exactly a ringing endorsement for the Conservatives but it is by no means the rout which some are predicting. ‘That shows they’re scared,’ says Nick Jones, leader of the 15-strong Tory opposition on Bury Council.
