It keeps getting mentioned, as if it's a certainty.
I remember much giddy excitement in May of last year.
Until the mayoral chains of office were dangled as a glittering loyalty prize.
Gaddafi's hanging on, against all the odds.
Anyone in the know like to give the odds of the ruling party toppling in Hyndburn?

HBC is one of the 30 councils expected to switch to Labour control in May which explains why even more cheques are being handed out than usual. Nothing is certain of course, but one would hope that common sense will prevail and people will see through electioneering to the wasteful, self-aggrandising spending we get the rest of the year.
The standard Consrvative argument against any cuts put forward has become 'gesture politics' but if cuts can be made, however small, surely that's a step in the right direction?
