....fires back tonight's Mail over his suspension. It's not so much a broadside, more of a volley of cotton wool balls. It goes on a bit with a lot of repetition even mentioning 'There will be no change to the work I do as a community volunteer at the centre, which I effectively manage....' There's gushing praise for Barclay ('he's a great Councillor') and so it goes on and on repeating his counterclaim endlessly, but I don't recall hearing any such thing until quite recently, before then nothing.
Despite all this, after reading the article repeatedly, at no point does he deny the claim, which surely would be your first reaction ? Will a denial be forthcoming?
The blatherings in the Mail will allow people who don't attend council meeting to realise just how badly he performs on the public stage, he constantly repeats himself and in real time fills in bits he can't remember with multiple errrrrr errrrr eerrrrr.............Just how did he become a councillor errrrrr errrrrrrrr errrrrrrrrrr
I recall that he delivered the eulogy at the funeral of a retired councillor and former mayor. He bumbled his way through that as well. Not the best at public speaking is SAB, in fact he regularly struggles to string a sentence together.
I remember a SAB chuntering in Chamber and it was truly cringe worthy. Mixed metaphors does not even come close. A gem was when he was trying to explain how 'chuffed' he was over some trifle and it escaped as 'my shoulders heaved with pride'. He is as thick as they come but not that more dumb than the rest of the pack, Mad Marj and the idiotic giggling Barclay. Cranney is likewise challenged but is under the delusion he can compensate by using his size to silence opposition. Someone should remind him how 'hunched' he is looking (acromegaly?) and that pretty soon even Riddle will be able to blow him over with a fart!
JUST ANOTHER HBC GOON BEEN GETTING PAYED FOR PRODUCING NOTHING ..
I used to deliberately submit questions in writing to the committee Cranney was head of, partly because I knew he'd have to read the answer out loud in full council.
Sometimes I'd try and put words in the question which I was confident he wouldn't be able to read. I was told once they'd realised what I was doing whoever was in charge of writing the responses for Cranney made sure they wrote the more difficult words phonetically.
He also used to look directly at me when attempting to deliver his replies. I'd yawn, twiddle with my phone etc and make it clear I had no interest in his response.
One time he was struggling with a difficult word (I think it might have been cat) and I was whispering to another councillor. He lost it and barked "YYYEEERRRNNOORREVEN LISTENING". He was right, I wasn't. I just wanted to help highlight how vile he is.
Wasting a few minutes of officers time like that wasn't ideal, but with people like Cranney you have to stoop to his level sometimes to expose him.
His mask slipped many times over the last few years.

Nice one David
The earth-shattering announcement has arrived. My flabber has never been so gasted.
It reads like it was written by a 10 year old. Spelling mistakes abound and sentences just seem to wither and die before they reach the point. The man really is as stupid as he looks.

Today I have resigned from the Labour Party. I was joined by regional president of the socialist Labour Party Frank Harrison to welcome me as a member of the Socialist Labour Party. I wish my friends and collogues in the Labour Party who I have worked with over the last 22 years {wish them what?}. Although I have fallen out with the national party, I have not fallen out with the good friends I have made.
I have attached my resignation letter and I will be on BBC look north tonight.
Dear Jeremy Corbyn Tom Watson, Fiona Stanton and the disputes department,
Having been unfairly suspended from the Labour Party on 15.04.2019 this has very much been the wake up call I have needed. It seems Racism, Homophobia, Anti-Semitism, Bullying, Harassment & Hatred are acceptable within the Labour Party., but being accused of delivering a leaflet for a Socialist Labour Party candidate & ward colleague is a step too far. I was saddened that an allegation against me was dealt with so quick when in fact racism has been ignored by the national party leadership and paid officials.
I have dedicated 22 years of my life to the Labour Party and I am sad to say I feel a huge sense of relief that I am leaving the party I once loved. I feel the Labour Party is unrecognisable and become so divisive and split.
I am sure there are some people who will celebrate my departure from the Labour Party, however I feel this is yet another clear warning sign that the Labour Party is quickly becoming a nasty and vile Party. Ignoring the hatred and letting the perpetuators run free within the party is effectively turning the party I was once proud of into a racist and facist party. Those who have ignored this vile turn in direction must face the consequences of breeding a 21st facist party. The national leadership, the general secretary and paid officials should be held accountable for allowing the Labour Party to evolve into a facist party.
I have been unhappy in the Labour Party for a number of months and the deciding point for me leaving was when I was suspended for allegedly delivering a leaflet for a true Socialist Labour Party candidate, while those who have been accused of racism have been left alone and free to continue to spread hatred. The last Hartlepool Labour Party meeting I attended was several months ago and I felt I was sitting in a National Front or a BNP meeting. There was so much hatred and abuse being spread in the room. I witnessed women members being heckled by a group of misogynistic men and left unchallenged I walked out of that meeting thinking what am I doing in this party. This immense feeling has grown and the Labour Party have done me a massive favour in the fact I can now walk away from this unpleasant echo chamber of this now awful Party.{ can anyone translate that last sentence for me?}
I feel the Labour Party has become a lost cause and a breeding ground for right-wing extremists. I have long been an anti-fascist and fought against injustice and inequality. I will continue this fight outside the Labour Party.
I have spent the last week since my suspension knocking on doors in the ward I have represented for 15 years. I have spoken to many, many residents about my thoughts to leave the Labour Party. After having a lot of discussion with those residents I now know it is the right thing to do. I have always supported the will of the residents I represent.
I emailed Jeremy Corbyn and Tom Watson to challenge them to deal with the racist scum in our party. I also expressed my sadness that an accusation of putting a leaflet through a letterbox is much more serious than racism and hatred. Both Mr Corbyn and Mr Watson failed to respond to me. They have let the Labour Party down by failing to act or respond to the many complaints they have had sight of. Shame on them for ignoring the growing fear or facist behaviour in the Labour Party.
I have watched my loved ones and friends being treated appallingly and no one has done anything to help. Labour North know the extent of the rot and choose not to do anything about it. They are completely complicit through their inaction and are as much to blame as the perpetrators who pedal this far right hatred in the Labour Party. Those who have not acted and dealt with the racism and hatred should face the consequences and be accountable.
The general secretary of the Labour Party has acted disgracefully by prioritising my suspension over a raft of serious complaints that have gone on for months. Her inability to deal with racism and antisemite behaviour has demonstrated the lack of commitments to resolving this awful episode in the Labour party history. She will be remembers in the history books for her inaction and her defiance{?????} against equality and diversity. She should be deeply ashamed of herself for suspending a hardworking party activist over racists and antisemites.
I will continue to serve the community I represent and remain a loyal Councillor. I shall now show the ward I serve more loyalty than the Labour Party is showing me.
My suspension is also unfair as recently Cllr Carl Richardson was suspended by the group whip for claiming around £60,000 and failing to declare this to the public and the Labour Party. Cllr Richardson's suspension was lifted within one hour by the regional director. Carl Richardson signed me up to the Labour Party and his greedy and deceitful behaviour is what turns people like myself away from Labour Party politics.
I leave behind some really good labour colleagues. The inaction of the Labour Party risks them also from walking away like I have. I am aware at least 3 more labour councillors are considering leaving in May.
Please ensure you remove my details from any database you hold. I should also expect that any personal information you hold on file regarding me will be returned to me.

Well,, the first rendition of the Mail article clearly quoted SAB as saying he would be on BBC Look North, however this appears to have now been amended. I wish I'd screencapped it now.
Mammy Belcher is making her stand over Brexit........
SANDRA BELCHER (SOCIALIST LABOUR PARTY)
I have dedicated my working life to caring for the elderly and disabled. Being a carer is something that is part of you and shapes your value base.
Respect and dignity should always be at the forefront of what we do. This is why I am seeking re election as a Socialist Labour Councillor.
I care about people and want what is best for them and our area. I have lived in both Throston & Dyke House most of my life.
Having worked on Throston Estate and brought my family up on Dyke House, this gives me a strong connection and understanding of the area.
I have lost faith in the national Labour Party over its handling of Brexit. A large number of residents who I represent in the Jesmond ward voted to leave.
Mail quote:
Coun Akers-Belcher said he believes infighting within the local Labour party and issues at national level will cost the party votes and said three other Hartlepool Labour councillors are also considering quitting the party.
But he said his husband, Christopher Akers-Belcher is not quitting despite facing calls to stand down from the Constituency Labour Party unhappy at his leadership.
"He is staying where he is," said Stephen Akers-Belcher. "We are very different politically. He always jokes my views are more left."
I believe him................

Not too sure on the statement he issued...

As he's cut his ties with Labour, will SAB retain his place on committee's? After all, his Party only has one seat on the Council.
And will his demise encourage more 'transparency' regarding the Rifty?
After reading his rambling and repetitive political Last Will and Testament, I get the impression from it that the Labour Party is goose stepping around town in jackboots, polishing their paneers and organising an invasion of Poland.
Seriously, this is just a pathetic diatribe.
All these allegations have aroused my curiosity, because I can't recall any of these being raised before the de-selections.
Is English his first language?
i get the impression that all of it is just a publicity stunt along with the usual drivel ie im getting picked on again ;)
Hard to believe he has left the party rather than the Labour Party throw the vain disreputable dishonest fantasist out.

Can the single Councillor of a very minor Party run the Rifty? Do you just strut in and say you're a Councillor and you're taking charge of the place? Just how exactly does that work?
Will Labour Councillors be allowed to fraternise with their new 'Socialist Labour' rivals/ competitors for votes?

When the penny dropped and it finally sank in that he had a problem, I imagine him have a massive breath holding tantrum, tears, hysterics and deciding to make a big flounce of a resignation. Deluded enough to think he's important, he'll have expected the world to beat a path to his door to find out why Hartlepool's greatest intellect has been discarded. Instead, four forlorn figures stand outside a community centre in a chilly wind. Three are looking at a middle aged cherub with black candy floss for hair while he ceremonially cuts up a bit of red card. The last grand gesture of an affronted diva, world famous in Hartlepool and no one gave a toss.
Life is now going to get a lot harder.

On the contrary mon ami. The site is destined to become an important shrine. It is where the movement started and I expect CAB will erect a Blue Plaque (no repeat of the Carpet Fiasco, the colours compliment)in the short time he has left. It is set to become an important tourist destination and the crowds will put the Tall Ships success to shame.
Get in on the ground floor before the place is overrun by his devoted followers. Jason has laid a Wreath already!

Schade ...
I think we will soon be seeing the Akers-Belcher Backside. CAB can not keep control of the local Party unless his paper candidates keeps the new Corbyn mob from winning the vacant seats. If the Independents succeed then its possible he could survive. Having no dog in the fight I can sit back and watch the fireworks.No matter who prevails I won't be crying at the count.

Oh........."count"
Silly me
I've just watched the video of him blabbering on about this on the mails page. I also listened to him ramble on the radio the other day. What stood out to me with both is he's clearly in denial (in his own head at least) about having actually delivered the leaflet.
In his radio interview he says to the host "the word here is allegedly". Then on the video in the mail he says "the evidence against me was not robust".
On the radio the presenter quickly says "Well did you do it then?", which SAB then opted to ignore. Where as obviously on his video on the mail he isn't grilled on his claim about the evidence.
However, in terms of robust evidence, he seems to have forgotten what the evidence actually consists of. He is literally ON video doing what he's been accused of doing. There's video in existence of him walking with Barclay, carrying Barclays leaflets and putting them through letterboxes. There are also still image photographs as well as images which are freeze frame screen shots from the video. On top of that, his picture and implied public endorsement is literally right there ON Barclays leaflets. How much more robust does he want the evidence to be?
I suppose his attempts at using the word 'alleged' are just further evidence (as if anymore were needed) of his level of intelligence.
He's probably picked it up from watching Have I got news for you, and misunderstood it.
Most definitions of the word 'alleged' contain the words 'without proof' as part of the explanation of the meaning. The proof is right there on video.
Unless someone on the Manor works in the film industry, is an expert in CGI and dislikes SAB enough to spend their time making computer generated images of two numpties traipsing around F Block, the proof is right there.
Having said all that, I stopped being surprised about what SAB and his ilk say and do a long time ago. They have form for this sort of thing. Cranney denied saying what he said to that grandmother even though there was crystal clear video and audio evidence if him doing it. There were denials made about the carpet situation in the CIL even though the post had been sent pictures of the initial carpets which were ripped up. Denials were made about the gold medal for Beck, even though someone from within HBC leaked the existence of what for all the world looked like a purchase order.
They literally deny things even though the proof is right there.
My 'favourite' example was Beck. He publicly resigned from his role as a board member within Manor residents, issued a press release, wrote a letter clarifying it, then denied having ever being a board member?!?!?!
It's taken a LONG time for Labour North to help get the situation to this stage and I'm pleased.
However, I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this is a little bit like nailing Ronnie Biggs for failing to have a train ticket.
According to this morning's BBC Local News SAB has resigned from the Council - if it were only true. Can't see him ditching £16000 in a hurry

His hubby took a chance on allowing The Handsome one a pair of pointy scissors to cut up hid red card......
Hahaha, I thought the same Fred. I was totally expecting the card to remain in one piece and him to chop his finger off, then look confused.
I get the impression he actually thinks Barclay is going to win and of course when his turn comes around he'll be automatically elected 'cos it's him'.
It appears the Party is irrelevant, as you just switch sides to whoever will take you in and the grab for power can continue unabated.
In his world, where there's fluffy clouds and Carly Simon in the background singing 'You're so vain', all his chums have switched Party's and their private party continues....if only.
It's like a submarine sinking to the bottom, there's noises and creaking then suddenly the water pressure squashes it flat, it's over.

I had the same thought. I downloaded and edited that film. I actually hosted the card-cutting section (4 seconds) and made a post with it but had a change of mind and deleted it. He stares intently at the cameraman as he does it and he looks really pleased with himself.

Will we see him cutting up his new Party card this time next year. I hope he had permission to use a council building for his political stunt.

Isn't the allocation of committee positions supposed to be proportional?
If a new Councillor came in from the 'Unicorn and Plumbers Party', would they be given a similar portfolio?
He was in the majority Party, he left it of his own choice and made a public display of cutting up his card to sever his ties. Now he's a Councillor of no consequence, so why the generous portfolio? It must be reviewed.
I looped the looney, I keep watching hoping to see him chop his finger off!

Anyone who thinks electing a new 'Elite' is anything other than a new elite taking the reins from the old elite and carrying on exactly as before is delusional
That's looking more like the 'The Last Supper' now.
I wonder if SAB has actually bothered to do his homework about the performance of SLP candidates before he signed up?
As far as I can see they've only ever had 5 councillors across the entire country since being formed by Arthur Scargill in 1996, and two of those 5 are SAB and Barclay! Lol
The other 3 were also Labour defectors who jumped ship in early 2014 and ALL 3 lost their seats a few months later to the new official labour candidates.
Typically a socialist Labour Party candidate pulls between 4-9% of the vote at local level.
In 2018 the SLP fielded just 3 candidates at local level across the entire country. So as it stands currently SAB and Barclay ARE the socialist Labour Party in terms of democratically elected members holding public office.
They contested 251 seats at general election level over 13 years winning . . . ZERO. 12 by-elections winning . . . ZERO. Umpteen at European and regional assembly level . . . Winning ZERO.
As far as I can see they'll literally never had anyone win a seat in anything via the ballot box.
In fact, out of all the 263 candidates they've fielded at national level, Stephen Picton polled more votes than 262 of their candidates.
It should turn out to be quite funny, SAB joins a political party and within two weeks he'll be their only councillor. Then, give it a year and they'll be none at all.
Barclay kept his seat with 1573 votes in 2015.
He'll do well to get 200 this time.
Oh and one other thing, SAB proudly led the remain campaign in Hartlepool in the EU referendum . . . Now he's joined a party as staunchly euro-sceptic as UKIP. Lol
Simpleton

It had been any non labour councillor (or indeed even certain labour ones) they would have probably been left with an on the spot fine for littering.
It appears the BBC spiked SAB's big 'expose'. He really, really believes his delusions and in his self-proclaimed whistleblower status. Yesterday Look North mentioned him several times throughout the day accompanied by a film clip of turnip-head talking but mercifully it was muted. We know he did a full interview because he was so excited about his day in the sun it and told all his friends to watch out for it. I presume when the shows editors got to hear what a rambling simplistic w*n*er he is they (after the stopped laughing) decided it was not fit for broadcast. SABs big day done come and gone and we did not get to see the fat lady sing.
I am guessing his resignation from the Socialist Labour Party will be at the same time as his mother and Father Jack-the morning after the count for their two seats!
Is SAB classed as a vunerable adult due to his below average intellect? If he is, the BBC has taken advantage of him and caused his hallucinations and delusional state to intensify

From what I was told he was putting letters in selective houses.
There's the possibility that with that coat on he's training to be a postman. You never know what the future holds.
What was he tooting at through the hole? Is that a toupee slipping back?
Have heard that some people have been getting personalised letters dropping through their letter boxes. The type that most parties only send to postal voters. Wonder if that's what he was delivering?
Spotted the CAB mobile in Tanfield rd at 1-50.
Interesting....
There was a youngish looking fella posting letters this morning in the rossmere area, but only to certain addresses. It wasn't anyone I recognised, and I am yet to speak to a neighbour about what was received....
CAB posted on his FB page indicating his total support for Cranney and thanking him for all his good work etc.followed by 4/5 comments backing Cranney saying similar. My comment about Cranney being a failed businessman etc was removed, there were around 8 other comments not visible and now comments have been closed, obviously some more 'truthful' comments were posted.
The usual suspects fighting to see who can crawl the furthest up CABs backside. I note Jason has started writing like wot how Cranney speaks-it must be catching!

They are all in it together and are treating the voters like mugs.

I loved the Facebook comment about him being the star at the helm of the town.
Why does the word Titanic come to mind?

Clint Eastwood sprung to mind....remember his co-star.........the Orang Utang called Clyde
CAB has been very busy tonight. He is frantically watching his Facebook page and has to dive in every couple of minutes to delete all the comments that do not fit the way he believes he should be seen. This is some of the milder stuff he has binned.

Most are too strong even for here. It is obvious the man is deeply unpopular and apart from the odd debt-ridden washed up DJ running rigged phone-ins he has no real friends.

Fair question to 'Lady Belcher'. I'd be surprised if there was a response....
Are the people showing support getting paid to do so,, or are they just so blind or dumb that they don't see what is really going on...
I'd love to be able to fully and freely express my true opinions on the leadership situation in this town,, however I value my membership here too much to do so.

Do the members here think that the SCABs and their family/ supporters actually have the brains to come up with a clever scam / scheme / ruse to confuse the Hartlepool voters in order to win the votes for today's elections?
Labour lose control? SAB will vote with the Labour Group as will Jed and I bet he will soon be back in the Party anyway. I believe the pact with the Conservatives will continue to keep Labour in power. When push comes to shove principles mean nothing and staying in control is everything.
I see a possible deal. We will leave you 'My Cafe' and 'Healthwatch', Mammy Belcher keeps the bungalow and no investigation of your scams if you go quietly.

But this has highlighted the problem, Party politics to them is irrelevant. They are their own group, their whole reason for being is to keep their group intact they even if they are in different Party's and no one has realised it. This whole deflection episode and the shock waves from it have holed their little club below the water line.
All because they just had to hang onto power. Now the curtain's coming down on the towns wilderness years.
Now that the Socialist Labour Party have experienced firsthand what they have allowed themselves to be drawn into with their latest recruits, will they be suspending two of their candidates and their only sitting councillor on HBC for publicly supporting an opposition candidate in this year's council elections ?
spot on the money ;D ;D ;D ;D
Wonder if the SLP photoshot their accounts prior to cetain admissions.Dont want to cause a rift, but.......cafe_nated h2o and uncooked books/meats the standard, or not.
CAB has deleted all the Cranney-supporting posts from his Facebook page. Its like Stalinist Russia where all mention of Trotsky were removed when he fell out of favour. I bet fibber Beck and the bloke who runs rigged on-air phone -in competitions are relieved there is no longer any record of their entries in the SCAB Cabal ar*se-licking competition!

When Jason manages to get his tongue back, he might reflect on his kiss ass comment in support of Kevin.....I'm not sure if the Pixies will be as 'supportive' of his radio station.
Radio Hartlepool reminds me of the Mail when it was constantly brown nosing the dear leader and mob. Look at it now, most people wonder if it still exists.
They too are now ripe for somebody to come along and replace them.

Getting involved with the mob is like building your new house on a sink hole. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but you wake up to find your beds floating in swamp water and you're looking up a hole at where you used to be..... and there's no ladder.
