Now we even hear that the Chief Constable of Northumbria Police and the Police Authority, and one or two others have removed their support for the single unitary bid.
Whilst its unravelling, Peter goes off on his lonesome in search of support at the Northern TUC on Thursday.
No joy there then, we understand from union members that Peter showed he was master of his brief alright – only it wasn’t the right brief!
What a farce – he can’t even put his own case forward without alienating some 200 union members with intemperate comments towards awkward questions.
Meanwhile Dave Stephens and his CEO present a cogent and powerful case for two unitary councils, at the same meeting - gaining some very powerful support and friends.
And so we lurch on with the mandarins at Whitehall gloating over the prospect of THEY making a decision that should have been decided by a referendum, that Peter doesn’t want. He prattles on about the government not having a referendum in its plans!!!
He and Brooks were told they could join the districts in a referendum – but that is not the message Peter wants to get out…..is it?
OH! AND BY THE WAY.....
Follys understands there is to be three public meetings arranged by the County to guage opinion and put forward their case only for a single unitary - even though their council does not show a preference for either!
These three public meetings, we understand from an officer, are to be by way of invitation only!
Invitations will only be issued if you answer telephone canvassers correctly....you couldn't make it up.
The meetings starting with Cramlington are supposed to be on the 5,6,7 June, coming to a place near you!!!!!!!
We understand if you turn up without a ticket you will be refused entry.
Follys understands a massive picketing operation is being planned with the press and TV already informed.
Follys wonders whose witless idea this was?
