Dirty Dealing in Private

Monday’s cabinet meeting was again the usual stage-managed affair by the administration. Officers are not allowed to speak, the pre made decisions are relayed to the press and the meetings are over in 15 minutes. Before this years election they said they believed in making decisions in public in an open and honest way. More Lib Dem lies. In fact a secret cabinet meeting takes place before the formal meeting the real decision and debate takes place in private. If the Cabinet is the real decision making body on the authority scrap the pre meeting and lets see the honest debate.

I remember there being debates at Labour's cabinet meetings.

With cabinet members such as Cllrs Branson, Waudby, Turner, Webster, Glew, Hale and Clark, what sort of level of debate took place under Labour?!

Kath Lavery was about the only one who could string a sentance together!

The idea of intelligent debate taking place in the Labour Cabinet is a joke!
