This doesn't and shouldn't stop them talking about each other's territory because it is essentially the same turf. We need to work together and attempt better communication between district, county and parliamentary levels in order to get a better grip on the borough's affairs than the last lot. Contrary to popular Conservative belief, Graham Jones is not pulling the strings but the Labour group enjoy a better relationship with him than they do and it obviously doesn't sit well.

The days of one man making all the decisions are over.

Deal with it.

Very well put...personally I would have used S.U.M.O...shut up, move on.

I am glad that the days of one man making all decisions has come to an end....and that there will be a new type of political teamwork.....maybe now we can get somewhere.
