Brent Conservatives issue statement justifying keeping Butt's Labour administration in power

"Serious". What exactly is "serious" about handing power to Mo Butt who just lost the election.
The Truth is that as soon as the election results were in on Friday evening on 8 May the Conservatives agreed a "stich up" deal with Labour to give them the position of Mayor for 2 out of the 4 years, extra money for the Tory Leader and both the £15,000pa Scrutiny position.
This was nothing to do with effective running of Brent Council or stability - this was all about positions for the Tories (that they do not deserve) and extra money for their pockets.
Thanks to the Tories, Butt's Labour will continue to do what they want until the Tories realise what a gross mistake they have made. All for a few thousand pounds a year and being mayor's for three years. Judas = Kansagra
Of course Butt designated the Tories as the "Principal" opposition. He (and everyone else) knows how ineffective Councillor Kansagra (another game of gold anyone?) and the Tories actually are. Such a shame that Councillor Sunita Hirani failed to get rid of Kansagra and the other useless Kenton Councillor.
In Brent’s long halls where the council lights glow, Anton Georgiou kept asking the questions others feared to know. While Muhammed Butt guarded the chamber, steady and stern, Anton fought for scrutiny at every sharp turn. From blue bag rows to housing debates, he challenged the system instead of the fates. Where Butt held the gavel with well-practised style, Anton won residents mile after mile. For rivalry’s not just who sits in the chair — it’s who speaks the loudest when locals despair.
Did you mean game of "golf". Gold is what Mo Butt paid for the deal to stay in power. The Labour Councillors in Brent are the laughing stock of London. Selling out to the Tories is the last thing anyone would expect of genuine Socialists.
Ahh - sorry forgot there are NO genuine Socialists left within the Brent Labour Group of Councillors - so no need to be surprised by their actions.
Hi anonymous May 27th 16.31 - I am not sure what comment you are referring to as so many are posted as Anon. There is a delay in my moderating when I am otherwise busy so it may have been posted in the last batch. The main aim of moderation is to screen out advertising, trolling etc as well as unsubstantiated personal attacks or potential libel. You will see that I have posted both the Labour and Conservative statements on their NOC arrangements. Please resubmit your comment if it has not been published or send to wembleymatters@virginmedia.com
We were told that Cllr Sinita Hirani was being investigated by the police but when she checked with them the Police said she was NOT being investigated by them.
She would gave made a very fine Leader of Brent Tories.
Tokyngton Residents voted for change. Cllr Chowdhury ( New Tory Cllr. )voted with Labour on every issue at the full council meeting. Who pulled his strings ? Kansangra You have lost the votes of Conservatives in Tokyngton. You totally betrayed us. Out , in the next election. Tokyngton will never vote Tory again. It was a tactical vote against Butt. We know better now. Lib Dems will prevail here.

Brent needs Cllr Georgiou as leader..... butt needs to go!

What a bunch of self serving fools they are.
Kansagra shouldn't even be a councillor
For those of us who watched the council meeting last week it is clear who has the ability to take the leadership. Leader of Lib Dems Anton
Tories are money grabbers.
Tories sell out Brent residents big time and all for a few pieces of gold. To be expected I suppose.
I'm lost for words to describe these Tory councillors. If I tell you some of the possible words, this will not be posted by Wembleymatters

The statement reads as though it's been written by Butt himself or Barry Gardiner!!! 🤔

@Martin - why have you failed to up load my perfectly acceptable comments on the Greens and Lib Dems? Is it because you disagree with my views?
Since when are you allowed to censor views and opinions on Wembley Matters just because they don't follow your narrative?
Wembley Matters is just an echo chamber with you ensuring only views and opinions that meet your agenda are uploaded.
It's a real shame that Kansagra forced cllr Hirani out. Did he libel her one wonders? Anyone know the truth?
