Whilst the post-election Tory on Calderdale Council infighting continues apace with Cllr. Nick Yates leaving to become an independent, the Halifax Courier gets down to the crux of the issue -
Should the council pay for the clothes bought by the partner of a defecting Tory because she wasn’t made deputy mayor’s consort?
Easy answer this one - NO.
Lessons of the day:
- Don’t assume you are going to be deputy mayoress until they put a chain round your neck
- Always keep your receipts
- Airing your dirty washing in public can make you look a tad petty
Halifax Courier: ‘Pay for my frock’, says Jenny who’s no longer deputy mayoress
