I like to think of myself as being pretty up-to-date with all the events and gossip in City Hall but I was almost shocked to be asked what I knew about rumours of a defection in Norwich.
I have to admit I know nothing, although I know Councillors in all three other groups who are upset with their leadership either locally or nationally. I didn’t know it had come to this though!
I cannot remember the last time any City Councillor switched, but any news would be welcomed!

Eve?

I have certainly heard rumours to that effect. The rumour I heard was actually linked to the conservatives, so perhaps Antony knows more than he is saying? It was also linked to someone who has recently featured on this blog.

Is Cllr Collishaw joining UKIP?

The last non tory mentioned was Mayhew and he won’t join the tories but as I said on another topic I herd he has been spoted talking to the Greens last Tuesday over a posible defection!

So Cllr Mayhew is thinking of trading Gold rosette for Green. Adds up!

Didn’t Pearmain quit Labour and sit as an Independent before becoming a Green???
Eve joining UKIP is as likely as Morphew going LibDem!!!!!
This blog ha made a lot of people at City Hall jumpy … news of another LibDem councillor thinking of getting out too!

At this rate Green Party might be the 2nd largest party by default.

No might, if Mayhew defects they will be. I herd the delay is over what committee places he get. Expect the big announcement early next week.
