Fake, corrupt. Or both?
This is running away from elections, plain and simple. There is no justification for cancelling elections in Staffordshire under the excuse of “Local Government Reorganisation” when no further work can happen on LGR until the Gov decides in the summer. https://t.co/euWYvLnUrR

Elections in @NewsNBC to go ahead -the right thing to do 🗳️ Yet astonishingly elections in neighbouring Cannock & Tamworth are cancelled There is no justification for using LGR to cancel elections in Staffordshire. This is Labour councillors there running away from the voters

🚨Democracy under threat🚨 Labour suggest scraping May’s local elections as part of forcing a Newcastle-under-Lyme to merger with Stoke. Unacceptable. Let voters have their say. 🗳️ 9,500+ petitioners say save our Borough! https://t.co/GU0UO1A0hE

Labour's move would rob more than 10 million people of a vote in May. And with half the councils involved run by Labour, it could limit the party's losses and boost Sir Keir's chances of survival.
