Labour nerves show in advance of May elections

An interesting news item appeared in today’s Northern Echo about the chaos there has been in Easington with the selection of candidates for the elections on 1 May.

A representative of the local Labour party was openly discussing the prospect of losing control of the County Council if things went pear-shaped in that part of the County.

Three years ago at the last county elections, this would have been unthinkable.

Now it is thinkable - for the first time in 90 years the tectonic plates of politics in County Durham are starting to shift - there can be a political earthquake on 1 May, all the electors have to do is vote for it!
