Islington Council has announced a by-election for Hillrise Ward on 15th August. This comes after Labour councillor Ollie Steadman suddenly resigned two months into the job…
Steadman only won the ward in a by-election on May 2nd this year. Labour and Islington Council are curiously not responding to requests for comment.

Red Wall Labour backbencher Jonathan Brash told GB News that Starmer should resign:
“I’m completely fed up about it, and I think it’s got to the point now where I genuinely think that, as far as the Prime Minister is concerned, it’s not a case of if, it’s when.”
