What an absolute joke! The most vilified, disgraceful, self-serving council individual the town has had the displeasure of knowing!
I would not get too excited about it. He has absolutely no chance of winning or coming anywhere close to getting past the initial binning of the no-hopers. Its just someone in the Labour group putting his name forward to suck up to the cretin and get a dig in at the Corbynist. They must be fuming.
Imagine the person charged with finding out who he was laughed when he checked him out!
Lets hope the awards ceremony doesn't clash with the one for the best Healthwatch in the country.

From the comments you would think that people don't appreciate his unique qualities ... ;)
The photo they use shows how the repeated botox treatments have damaged left uper eye-lid.
i would be more interested in seeing the nomination information- who nominated him and why
I had to quench back a small amount of vomit when I saw this article
The link to the mail's no longer working - anyone got screen shots?
There's to much info in the media on the Botox Babe...It would make a laughing stock of a National Award......Besides he doesn't need anyone else to tell him he is 'famous' The Boy in the Mans Body will constantly remind him...NPD overload.

It appears the Facebook story sank under the weight of negative and mocking comments. The Mail got either cold feet or a threat from the Corbynists (who despair at the 100% negative reaction) that more adds would be shifting to Hartlepool Life when the coup is complete.
It just confirms we have a 'Free Press' locally-free of anything negative about Labour

That will be her Parthian Shot at the Corbyn Cabal.
How quickly political fortune changes. Was it really on a few months back they were arranging a special Corbyn flying visit so she could be pictured with the Great man himself.

All local Forums were spammed relentlessly with messages from Labour shills promoting Katie as the vanguard of the new generation who were going to gets the SCABs out. Turns out Katie fell under the spell of the SCABs and became a devoted follower of the wrong (self-proclaimed) Great Man. In turn Katie was stabbed in the back by her former Comrades and she does this to spite. Just the usual way the Comrades treat each other!
Remember this when the next 'new broom' appears telling you to vote for them and that they will vote the SCABs out.
Katie has erased her councillor page and seems to be very involved with groups that leave little time for any work as a Councillor. Does she attend meetings at all?
I can't see how she is able to represent her ward with all this on her plate

How about CAB being shortlisted for Leech of the Year or Parasite of the Year. In fact, pick a word that describes him / his personality and then stick 'of the Year' on the end! What about Narcissist of the Year? Maybe Katie Trueman nominated him as a joke.....is it possible that she's a 'double agent'?
What sums this all up for me is someone continually whining on about the repeated cuts to council income swanning about in a top range convertible sports car with personalised plates whilst awarding themselves a 30% rise in expenses.
What fools do they take us for?
If the various rumours I hear are correct, we could well be looking at the next council tax increase being in excess of last years 4.9%
Hartlepool should be up for an award ! An award for always giving people a chance, a place the incompetent and workshy can thrive !! Just look at our council leaders ...they run the council like a live action satire of small town politics!

Oh no, forgot about that. Will there be a massive mediaeval baggage train leaving the town with musicians playing and jesters amusing the adoring crowds as Hartlepool's very own Sun God departs his kingdom waving to his adoring subjects with Guinevere alongside furiously writing his acceptance speech in golden crayon. Street party's will be feverishly organised to welcome the mighty leader back from his victory in distant lands and the people will weep with joy.
That said, me and my brother buried our Guinea pig as kids and the late chubby cheeked carrot gnasher probably has more chance of winning.
It's a shame that Theresa May danced in with " Dancing Queen" by Abba thus beating CAB to it.
How about "I have a dream" for a second choice?
That should give him a good chance of winning the prize and dancing out with " The winner takes it all"
Bye suckers.

What I find annoying about this is the Mail portrays Akers-Belcher as Thomas as public servants carrying out their onerous tasks to benefit the town - they are doing it for one reason and one reason only - financial gain

Note who liked Katie's post. The usual gaggle of sycophantic fart-catching close friends & family members, rigged radio competition organisers and the favourite auditor of Councilors running a scam CIC.
No likes from Tom, Andy SimmsDan, Julie etc. I wonder why?
No surprises with Multi Ward Marshall & Ex Cllr Clarke sucking up to the SCABMOB......
Just what exactly have they 'lead' ?
A couple of pompous egos collect together a motley crew of nodding dogs and sycophants who could only be elected by the system whereby they get the party vote, otherwise they'd be unelectable.
What have they achieved? I see nothing. It's been like watching flower arrangers on the Titanic. Fussing and bitching over fripperies and the utterly irrelevant while the ship's sinking into obscurity. Jobs????? Forget that, they tinker with toy projects and joyously celebrate the opening of some shop that brings half a dozen part time jobs. Nothing happens on the jobs front of any real value, it 's like the town is being run by a team of not very good window dressers using sack cloth for curtains with the sum total of nowt to display in the window.
They have presided over the biggest decline in the town I've seen in my life, closures of services once thought unimaginable and stood there as bystanders. Did they put up a fight? Not to my knowledge, they held there hands up in abject surrender. Even their much trumpted 'Vision' was more mirage, on the horizon but disappeared every time you got near to it.
Their period in charge will always be what I'd call the 'Wilderness years', a time of stagnation covered in thin veneer of cheap lacklustre glitter.
Pound to a penny he wrote the nomination himself and the girl just had to endorse it.
I had the misfortune to have to work around these people in a previous role. They're nice to you when they need your help and support, but the knives come out when you can't give them the results or answers that they need.
As for the towns first couple, one is thick as ..... The other has slightly more intelligence which makes him the more dangerous.
Let's sincerely hope it's a wasted journey to the awards night.

Surely to win you'd need a record of achievement, what have they achieved. Sadly for them, Vision, delusions, mirages, whatever they call them, hardly qualify.
Just a thought........ If CAB & Thomas attend the awards ceremony and their partners also attend, will the council tax payers be picking up the tab for them......
No wonder people are sick to death of Party politics in Hartlepool.....
I really can't see them going 'unaccompanied', especially if there's the attraction of 'limelight'.
That said it's time they realised it's a nomination, not a Coronation. Any fool can be nominated.

The comments from the CEO of LGiu appear to be symptomatic of Public Servants......Has he actually bothered his a**e to look into the circumstances of those nominated and the nominee.....

The only difference they (The Labscum!) make to residents is that the Council Tax will be increased, thereby costing the residents MORE money!
Making a real difference to their residents. not necessarily for the better.

Regarding Sir Leadalot's visit to his Coronation, can anyone name the two people inside the pantomime horse he sits astride.

Ah, if that's the case then, will Beck be the Beckside and Barclay the Horses mouth?
Barclay has worked tirelessly for this town !!! He has sacrificed his body to reduce the alcohol volume per resident of this town . His rosy completion is testament to his dedication
Interesting to note it was on the Mail front page online for a very short period that neither won an award, were they at the event and did the tax payers foot the bill for travel and accommodation,
I think the answer would be yes too both.
Here it is here https://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/news/politics/two-senior-hartlepool-councillors-unsuccessful-at-national-awards-ceremony-1-9433013
To be honest HAD they won one can only assume that the whole thing was some kind of ironic hoax.
I've said since he started that CAB WILL go down as the worst leader in the entire history of Hartlepool Council. I have absolutely no doubt about that. His actions may well contribute to ( a) bankrupting the council and (b ) killing off large sections of the Labour vote in Hartlepool certainly at local level. In fact, he's already well on his way to achieving B.
As for Stephen Thomas. he'll mainly be remember for literally crying his eyes out when he lost an election a few years back. I'm sure he's a nice enough bloke but as far as i'm concerned anyone who is on CABS payroll via health watch is tainted. If anyone has had the 'pleasure' of trying to stay awake during one of his powerpoints 'revealing' that health and health care is bad in Hartlepool will know that he's a waste of space.
Nice enough bloke, but politically wetter than a sexually aroused goldfish.
Rumour has it they've been nominated for the 'Nobbled Pizza Prize'.
I wonder if the same ones who nominated him are the ones who will vote him out tonight.
That would be Katie Trueman !!!

Katie is on the new crowds shi*t-list so there will be lots of digs at her disguised as unbiased comment. Only those who were pointing out her shortfalls in the period up to her 'going native' can be assumed to be truly impartial
