This silly-season Guido decided to run on some rather niche, but important, local stories while Westminster was quiet. As a result the Department for Education have launched an investigation into the school scandal that shook the Isles of Scilly and Guido brought to central government’s attention.

Guido also understands that the Isle of Scilly council are set to face another investigation by the Information Commissioner for consistently refusing to acknowledge or act on Freedom of Information requests. Not least his own…

The days remaining for this tin-pot banana republic run by locally loathed council Chief Executive Philip Hygate seem numbered.

The £100,000-a-year dictator is at the heart of the whole mess.
