Don't forget that Basher Cowan was 'fewmin' when the local party picked Ms Hawkins as the PPC last time around as they were running an all XX chromosome list.
Aylesham is all part of his plan to stand against Charlie (once he's nobbled the Young Pretender the Wearside Wonder) in the next General Election.
Unfortunately Basher screwed it all up by standing for DDC last in Town and Pier where the excellent Jim Hood was standing down and had a huge personal vote.
Meanwhile at Fort Whitfield, in the absence of Basher the redoubtable Mike Eddy (who also collects council allowances as others might collect stamps) has taken over as 'leader of opposition' (Special Responsibility Allowance of £4,081.26 on top of Standard Allowance of £3,980.04).
Were Basher to be elected expect fireworks in the chamber as Eddy and Basher loath each other as only members of the Labour Party can, especially when there is money involved, plus the fact that Eddy, though far too modest to push himself forward, is waiting for the local party to come to their senses and see himself as the candidate to take on our Charlie!
