Speaking of weeds, a useless piece of information. The President of the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) is a Mr. Keith Weed. How did he ever get elected?

Reaching out..on a journey...the "X community" (just say "X people", or better still, "some X people")...my truth - all reflexively used by all and sundry and handed down like last year's fashions by America's academic, media and entertainment industries to us over here.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      He's not acting according to his convictions though, he's acting entirely according to his own ambition and self interest.  I'd be very concerned if I was a parent of a child in the Primary School he teaches at. His new party advocate teaching primary school children how to use crack cocaine and heroin: https://metro.co.uk/2026/02/21/green-party-says-primary-school-children-should-be-taught-to-take-drugs-safely-27031825/   Anyway, I feel we will finally be well rid of him. I don't believe he will stand in this ward. He will have a much better chance of election in Nunhead and Queens Road.

      I trust people who act  according to their convictions regardless of what other people might think. I don't trust people  who stick with things which no longer feel right for them. I was once a fully paid up member of the Labour party, and went to local meetings. Along with a number of other people I know, I left the Labour party and  no longer go to local meetings. The Labour party has moved a long way to the right, and the Green party now represents much of what Labour used to stand for. I don't think "political rivalry" has anything to do with it. I find that a very strange choice of words.

      I don't really understand the question in this context? I mean, yes, most of us are motivated by a degree of self interest but Rockets is not standing for election as a local councillor( is he?), nor did he stand for leadership of the Council, so in that sense does not have the power or influence to significantly affect thousands of voter lives.

      @Sue of course it matters - 100% it matters. He was an elected official who asked the electorate to entrust the running of a local ward to him as a Labour councillor, under Labour's mandate. He also held a senior position within the Labour local leadership team. Suddenly he leaves and jumps to a political rival and gives his previous political party both barrels. This is why many people distrust all politicians and things like this just goes to confirm that.
