I stood as a paper candidate for the Liberal Democrats in Tetbury Upton whilst still a councillor in Salford.

Full statement

After campaigning, and winning, I reneged on my promise to quit in Salford and continued to claim expenses for both positions, while attending under 25% of meetings in Salford and under 75% in Tetbury Upton. For this I was suspended from the Lib Dems and so I am now an independent there. (I may now represent the Liberal Party, I'm not sure). I then set about trying to get the Tetbury Town council disbanded but lost the vote I asked for by a margin of about 98%. After a few months of insulting people on social media, and making the national press for abusing a local woman who questioned my often aggressive and patronising attitude, I stood as a candidate for Tetbury Town council and came 4th, out of 4. The other 3 candidates were elected. I left all social media after that as I was just digging myself a deeper and deeper hole. My time is mainly now spent responding to complaints that people have made officially to Cotswold County Council about me. And living in fantasy land. I'll be shocked if I get my deposit back, to be honest (sorry that's a weird expression for me to use, I know).
