In a TikTok video released and then hastily withdrawn yesterday, Cllr Simon Rush repeatedly shouted “What are they hiding?” as he and his colleague Cllr Susan Masters took issue with Green mayoral candidate Areeq Chowdhury’s plans.
They claimed Cllr Chowdhury wasn’t providing any detail about his proposals, particularly moving from the current emissions-based parking charges to a scheme that focusses on a vehicles size and weight.
Well, the Greens have now published their detailed manifesto, so they aren’t hiding anything.
But what about Labour? Where’s their manifesto, their detailed plans for the next four years?
Head over to the local party website and you’ll find this:
Their manifesto from, er, four years ago.
Where’s the current one, the one Forhad Hussain and 66 council candidates are running on? Nowhere to be seen. There’s three weeks to polling day and postal votes will start landing on doormats any day now. Beyond the brief pledges on a leaflets and few dubious Insta reels, there’s little to no detail about what Labour will do.
As Cllr Rush is so fond of saying, “What are they hiding?”
