As first act of his new administration Steve Bullock has appointed the new Cabinet, and if this is a sign of things to come then we’re in trouble.
One member is in fact appointed with the title of Cabinet Member for Strategy and Communication, a job that didn’t exist before, that we don’t need and that is only of in the interest to the Labour Party and functional to its perpetual preservation in power, unfortunately this job is remunerated with an extra £15,283 a year of your tax money.
The post for Strategy and Communication has been awarded to Lewisham Central Councillor Damien Egan, that during electoral campaign successfully convinced Lewisham Central residents that the Labour Party was behind various community actions and campaigns in the area that were instead the result of non-political community groups (example).
That’s some strategy and communication in action for you, in vernacular we call this weaseling, Steve Bullock evidently approves of it very much.
