p>Let’s start with some context. Liverpool is Labour’s heartland, a city it dominates politically in local and national elections, home to its safest seats. In 2019, before boundary reorganisation, Maria Eagle had a 31,624 majority, 72.3% of the vote.br />br />So why on Earth would a small socialist party, the Liverpool Community Independents, stand a candidate? With just three councillors, isn’t this a case of astonishing overreach?br />br />The first answer is moral necessity. Eagle, alone among Liverpool MPs, refused to vote for a ceasefire in Gaza. She is listed as a supporter of Labour Friends of Israel and is a procurement minister with close ties to the arms industry.br />br />Of course, there have been small left groups who stood on issues of principle in the past and got derisory votes. Is there any chance this time things could be different?br />br />Well, there is some encouragement in the last council elections when the LCI candidates defeated Labour in three wards. The party emerged from the refusal by some Labour councillors to vote for a cuts budget. One of the wards involved was two member Garston where Sam Gorst and Lucy Williams won in a hard-fought and very bitter contest. Of course, it is a huge step up from a council ward to a constituency of some 70,000 electors, 45,300 households. There is a complicating factor however and that emanates from the Palestine crisis. Scores of Labour councillors resigned across the country over Labour’s appalling response to the genocide, constituting a loose movement challenging the established parties. The Liverpool Garston candidate is part of that independent socialist wave of protest whose best known figure is former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.br />br />So the Liverpool Community Independents’ supporters have handed out tens of thousands of leaflets, issued hundreds of posters to businesses and residents, canvassed schools, stations, shopping centres and supermarkets, knocked on doors and had a healthy social media presence.br />br />The small regional party, part of Transform and the Collective network, is not expecting victory in Garston. Labour has a history going back over a century, huge brand recognition, wall-to-wall TV coverage and wind in its sails thanks to the self-inflicted collapse of the governing Tory Party.br />br />So what would be a good result for a tiny organisation, previously little known outside Garston and Orrell Park wards?br />br />The first aim has to be gaining 5% of the vote, saving the £500 deposit. This would indicate some traction and give the LCI encouragement that it could add to its three seats in the 2027 local elections. After that, it is a question of whether it could leapfrog some of the establishment parties, with all their longstanding brand recognition and financial reserves.br />br />Is an earthquake possible?br />br />Any significant tremor registering on the political Richter Scale would be a win./p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> footer classentry-meta> span classcat-links> span classentry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links>Posted in/span> a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/category/uncategorized/ relcategory tag>Uncategorized/a> /span> span classsep> | /span> span classcomments-link>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2024/07/what-would-a-good-result-look-like-in-liverpool-garston/#respond>span classleave-reply>Leave a reply/span>/a>/span> /footer>!-- .entry-meta --> /article>!-- #post-28349 --> article idpost-28337 classpost-28337 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized> header classentry-header> h1 classentry-title>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2024/05/speech-to-full-council-21-5-2024-on-st-johns-market/ relbookmark>Speech to full council, 21.5.2024 on St John’s market/a>/h1> div classentry-meta> span classsep>Posted on /span>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2024/05/speech-to-full-council-21-5-2024-on-st-johns-market/ title8:32 pm relbookmark>time classentry-date datetime2024-05-21T20:32:46+00:00>May 21, 2024/time>/a>span classby-author> span classsep> by /span> span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/author/gibbons/ titleView all posts by Alan Gibbons relauthor>Alan Gibbons/a>/span>/span> /div>!-- .entry-meta --> div classcomments-link> a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2024/05/speech-to-full-council-21-5-2024-on-st-johns-market/#respond>span classleave-reply>Reply/span>/a> /div> /header>!-- .entry-header --> div classentry-content> p>My speech to full council on the future of St John’s market.br />br />“I never thought I would be a witness to a Labour Party that admitted a right wing xenophobe like Natalie Elphicke and simultaneously ruined the lives of market traders.br />Why has this iconic 816-year-old market fared worse than other markets in this city and beyond its boundaries such as Warrington, Chorley, Chester Preston?br />Cllr Small on Radio Merseyside said the leases had been breached by the traders’ non-payment, but you could equally argue that the contractual, commercial and moral leases have been breached by this council leadership since 2016 because the £2.7 million city council investment was wasted to deliver doctors’ waiting room blandness instead of a thriving home to a bustling market.br />Who is responsible for that failure? Not the traders who were appalled by the result. This City Council leadership is responsible. Former Mayor Joe Anderson confirmed it at the time.br />All stall holders were receiving for their rent was a space, but none of the services you would expect within that space, good access, good conditions and good facilities for shoppers in the form of toilets, lifts, air conditioning, escalators.br />The conditions in which traders were expected to operate might be expected of a slum landlord, not a responsible council.br />There are parallels with the issue of the leisure centres, subject of a protest today. This administration wants to discuss ever issue as if there is no context, no back story, no history. Lack of investment and botched planning led to this point.br />br />br />br />br />br />br />Most of all Labour’s bad governance and waste led to this point. Before Cllr Small poses as a fiscally responsible custodian of council taxpayers’ money, look at the record: br />• Over £200m of bad debt written offbr />• £16m energy bill fiascobr />• Over £1m landlord council tax not collectedbr />• 30 months of rent not collected on Beetham Plazabr />• Land given away to favoured property developersbr />• Failures over the Huyton Asphalt contractbr />Councillor Bennett had the cheek to talk about closing St John’s so the council would have money to help the homeless. You literally gave £4m back to the government for a homeless shelter you never opened!br />To try to reduce the entire fiasco to a matter of non-payment is cynical and disingenuous. The roots of non-payment are in the council’s failure to refurbish the site to a standard conducive to trade.br />I’ve spoken to the traders and protested alongside them. This is their livelihoods. Locking them out without notice and blaming them for arrears when they were getting nothing back for their rent really is dreadful behaviour. This mess needs sorting out and you start with honest, mutual discussion.br />It goes on and on because St John’s is not a one off. It is symbolic of years of failure. br />Resolving St John’s market can become symbolic of recovery.”/p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> footer classentry-meta> span classcat-links> span classentry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links>Posted in/span> a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/category/uncategorized/ relcategory tag>Uncategorized/a> /span> span classsep> | /span> span classcomments-link>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2024/05/speech-to-full-council-21-5-2024-on-st-johns-market/#respond>span classleave-reply>Leave a reply/span>/a>/span> /footer>!-- .entry-meta --> /article>!-- #post-28337 --> article idpost-28306 classpost-28306 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized> header classentry-header> h1 classentry-title>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2024/01/speech-on-ending-the-right-to-buy-17-1-2023/ relbookmark>Speech on ending the Right to Buy, 17.1.2023/a>/h1> div classentry-meta> span classsep>Posted on /span>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2024/01/speech-on-ending-the-right-to-buy-17-1-2023/ title10:19 pm relbookmark>time classentry-date datetime2024-01-17T22:19:26+00:00>January 17, 2024/time>/a>span classby-author> span classsep> by /span> span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/author/gibbons/ titleView all posts by Alan Gibbons relauthor>Alan Gibbons/a>/span>/span> /div>!-- .entry-meta --> div classcomments-link> a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2024/01/speech-on-ending-the-right-to-buy-17-1-2023/#respond>span classleave-reply>Reply/span>/a> /div> /header>!-- .entry-header --> div classentry-content> p>We are putting forward this amendment because we agree with this statement: “the idea of a home for life handed on in common ownership to future generations is an idea worth fighting for.”br />br />The speaker was Labour’s Lisa Nandy, not somebody I always agree with. But I agree with those words.br />br />Thatcher’s Right to Buy was popular, but it contained a time bomb. By not building new council houses, quality homes at an affordable rent, the social housing stock dwindled, contributing to the housing crisis we face now. Nationally 1 million houses were sold within 10 years. Spending restrictions were also introduced at the same time which that it was no longer possible to build new houses in large numbers. br />br />Many homes sold under Right to Buy ended up in the private rented sector at exorbitant cost to tenants. This also raises the Housing Benefit burden.br />br />Another Labour Shadow Minister Lucy Powell said at the 2021 Labour conference that ending Right to Buy was the right thing to do. I sincerely hope this has not been the subject of one of Starmer’s notorious U-turns.br />br />Ending Right to Buy is an indispensable first step in increasing the number of social homes available to rent and enable waiting lists to fall.br />br />Both Labour and Tory governments from 1945 through the 1950s had mass council house building programmes. Some of the houses that were built at that time remain some of the best homes ever built in this country and this was in economic conditions far worse than those we face now.br />br />This amendment is about removing one of the causes of the escalating homelessness crisis. It is not just another plea to an unresponsive Tory government; it is a call on the incoming Labour government to remember the best days of its history when it built houses and do the right thing, building in large numbers the kind of homes that provided better lives for generations of working people.br />br />br />br />/p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> footer classentry-meta> span classcat-links> span classentry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links>Posted in/span> a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/category/uncategorized/ relcategory tag>Uncategorized/a> /span> span classsep> | /span> span classcomments-link>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2024/01/speech-on-ending-the-right-to-buy-17-1-2023/#respond>span classleave-reply>Leave a reply/span>/a>/span> /footer>!-- .entry-meta --> /article>!-- #post-28306 --> article idpost-28304 classpost-28304 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized> header classentry-header> h1 classentry-title>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2024/01/alan-gibbons-speech-on-health-inequalities-17-1-2023/ relbookmark>Alan Gibbons’ speech on health inequalities, 17.1.2023/a>/h1> div classentry-meta> span classsep>Posted on /span>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2024/01/alan-gibbons-speech-on-health-inequalities-17-1-2023/ title10:14 pm relbookmark>time classentry-date datetime2024-01-17T22:14:53+00:00>January 17, 2024/time>/a>span classby-author> span classsep> by /span> span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/author/gibbons/ titleView all posts by Alan Gibbons relauthor>Alan Gibbons/a>/span>/span> /div>!-- .entry-meta --> div classcomments-link> a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2024/01/alan-gibbons-speech-on-health-inequalities-17-1-2023/#respond>span classleave-reply>Reply/span>/a> /div> /header>!-- .entry-header --> div classentry-content> p>Speech on health inequalitiesbr />br />A life lived well. An excellent quality of life for as long as possible and the shortest period of ill health and pain towards the end of life. This is the gold standard. br />br />When we read in this report “Progress has stalled over the last decade” we should be worried.br />When we read “Those living in our poorest areas live 15 years less than those in more affluent areas, and they live 18 more years with poor health” we should be driven to action.br />br />One major impact on health we all recognise is poor housing. A fifth of housing is non-decent. I have seen it in my ward, visiting and raising with council services properties with mould and damp for which residents can be paying £900 a month. br />br />No fault evictions are a Damocles sword over many tenants’ heads, causing immense stress and worry. Without a major change of housing policy, it is hard to see any light at the end of this tunnel. We are not surprised that the Tories are a pro-landlord party. When Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves say they can’t turn on the spending taps we should be worried about an uninspiring continuity of policy. They should read their Keir Hardie on landlordism.br />br />Every human being should have the right to a warm, comfortable and affordable home and that means mass council housing. To achieve that, we need a dramatic change in policy. In the aftermath of WWII both Labour and Tory governments began programmes of mass social housing. If we could do it amid the wreckage of war, we can do it as we emerge from 14 years of Tory misrule.br />br />Poor air quality blights lives.br />5.8% of deaths nationally are due to poor air quality, but 44% of people in this city go to work by car. In Garston ward, the application for Veolia to expand has highlighted the desperate health statistics in the ward. br />br />All too often poor mental health is the unfashionable, difficult and disregarded illness.br />It is heart-breaking to read that 1 in 5 children has a probable mental health disorder. One of the most shocking pieces of evidence in the report is this: br />“The biggest increase in major illness is projected in the number of people diagnosed with depression, which is expected to more than double to 164,200 people.”br />Depression in turn is related to poor housing, poor educational opportunities and poverty.br />According to Public Health England, children from households in the bottom fifth of income distribution are over four times more likely to experience severe mental health problems that those in the highest fifth.br />br />This entire multi-faceted reduction in people’s quality of life is not an accident.br />It is the direct consequence of a conscious political choice by Cameron’s Tory government, supported by Nick Clegg and the Lib Dems, to worsen the lives of the poorest to protect the wealth and well-being of the rich. It was called austerity and it is the biggest con in recent political history. I would love to say an incoming Labour government will represent change, but abiding by Tory-established fiscal rules means continuity austerity.br />br />According to Public Health England, access to good-quality green space is linked to improvements in physical and mental health, and lower levels of obesity. Levels of access to green space are lower on average for people from ethnic minority communities and people living in areas with lower average incomes. I am old enough to remember when our parks were places with manicured lawns, glowing flower beds, animal corners, boating lakes and cafes. Some of our parks have been reduced by generations of cuts to shadows of their former selves.br />br />My twin daughters are regular gym goers because they attended Everton Park Gymnastics Club from early childhood. That same club looks with concern at the possibility they may no longer have a home because of the council’s decision to remove two leisure centres from its portfolio.br />br />The moment you say resources are needed to address health inequalities, the refrain comes back: “You can’t just throw money at it.”br />br />Well, the UK government was quick enough to rip money from our communities.br />br />Why should we dance to the government’s tune?br />br />According to the Commons Public Accounts Committee, Government is unable to demonstrate value for money across a staggering £259bn of public procurementbr />br />There are measures we can take locally, but to make any significant impact it requires something radical to happen. It demands a different kind of politics that rejects the notion that you have to defend the interests of the rich and powerful who have the best health outcomes by worsening the public services of those who have the worst ones.br />br />Endless cuts were a political choice. A new Oxfam report reveals the worlds 5 richest men… have more than doubled their fortunes to £682bn in 3 years while the world’s poorest 60%. almost 5 billion people, have lost money.br />br />The world and this country are awash with money, just in the wrong hands. An end to cuts to is the precondition for resourcing the improved life chances of the many.br />br />br />br />br />br />br />br />br />/p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> footer classentry-meta> span

what are we to make of it?/strong>br />br />strong>Firstly, the party has little to celebrate. It lost 26% of its support and its share of the vote is reduced to just 40%. Our group of ex-Labour socialists, the Liverpool Community Independents, managed a credible 30%, coming second. The Lib Dems came third with 17%./strong>br />br />strong>The background to the by-election lies in Frazer Lake’s resignation. Right-winger Lake was Cabinet member for Children’s Services which had just experienced a damning Ofsted report. Whether it was the desire to take up a better-paid job with Unite the Union or apprehension at the fallout from the Ofsted report, Lake’s departure put Labour on the back foot./strong>br />br />strong>It was not enough to unseat Labour in the party’s heartland. There is a strong vestigial Labour vote and, while there were only two candidates contesting it Fazakerley East in May, there were five this time out and probably blunted LCI’s forward march. The Lib Dems got out their traditional vote and probably peeled off some disillusioned Labour voters who may have turned to us in a two-candidate face-off. As a result we were unable to replicate the recent victories in Garston and Orrell Park. Many campaigners reported a relatively flat political atmosphere. Hard as we campaigned, we were unable to find the final 93 votes to overhaul Labour./strong>br />br />strong>That said, a year-old group is consistently winning seats or coming second, proving there is a political space to the left of Labour. We are polling way above the usual left of Labour vote./strong>br />br />strong>If we learn some lessons about strengthening our postal vote operation and varying our political messaging, we can build on this result and strengthen the Left across the city./strong>br />br />/p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> footer classentry-meta> span classcat-links> span classentry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links>Posted in/span> a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/category/uncategorized/ relcategory tag>Uncategorized/a> /span> span classsep> | /span> span classcomments-link>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2023/09/fazakerley-east-labour-lose-26-of-vote-hang-on-to-seat/#comments>b>3/b> Replies/a>/span> /footer>!-- .entry-meta --> /article>!-- #post-28267 --> article idpost-28255 classpost-28255 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized> header classentry-header> h1 classentry-title>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2023/08/the-short-and-inglorious-career-of-councillor-frazer-lake/ relbookmark>The short and inglorious career of Councillor Frazer Lake/a>/h1> div classentry-meta> span classsep>Posted on /span>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2023/08/the-short-and-inglorious-career-of-councillor-frazer-lake/ title4:21 pm relbookmark>time classentry-date datetime2023-08-02T16:21:01+00:00>August 2, 2023/time>/a>span classby-author> span classsep> by /span> span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/author/gibbons/ titleView all posts by Alan Gibbons relauthor>Alan Gibbons/a>/span>/span> /div>!-- .entry-meta --> div classcomments-link> a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2023/08/the-short-and-inglorious-career-of-councillor-frazer-lake/#comments>1/a> /div> /header>!-- .entry-header --> div classentry-content> p>br />br />A lot of people talked left to advance their political careers at the height of Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party. Now departed councillor Frazer Lake was one of them.br />br />Lake was a member of Warbreck branch when I was chair and secretary of Walton CLP, Liverpool Walton being the constituency with the highest Labour vote in the country. It was evident to many of us that his left credentials were questionable to say the least. br />br />Lake’s political career began when he was shortlisted for the Fazakerley seat in 2019. I was the CLP observer when Lake’s manipulative left rhetoric got him preferred to genuine Corbyn supporter Rona Heron. Cue a rapid rise ultimately leading to inclusion in Mayor Joanne Anderson’s Cabinet in the aftermath of the Caller Report into Liverpool City Council that saw government commissioners sent into the city.br />br />In a meteoric rise unjustified by any genuine sense of principle or obvious ability, Lake would become deputy Mayor and hold the Cabinet brief for Children’s Services.br />br />The tenure of Mayor Joanne Anderson was meant to signify recovery from Mayor Joe Anderson’s time, heavily criticised in the Caller Report, but it was marked by a series of disasters, some arguably rooted in Joe Anderson’s conduct of Liverpool City Council and some Joanne Anderson’s own.br />br />The catalogue of failure is staggering:br />br />• Three departments judged failing in the Caller Reportbr />• Numerous dubious property dealsbr />• The controversial Beautiful Ideas sagabr />• The revelation that 14 Labour councillors had 51 parking fines rescinded outside the official PCN systembr />• £230m of bad debt written offbr />• 30 months of rent not collected on the Beetham Plaza car parkbr />• Over £1 million of council tax not collected from landlordsbr />• The £16 million energy bill fiascobr />br />But the issue for which Lake will be remembered is his time as Cabinet member for Children’s Social Care.br />br />A damning Ofsted report has judged the department inadequate and that children were at risk of ‘being harmed or at risk of harm.’ At an emergency full council Cllr Liz Makinson proposed and I seconded a motion about the crisis. br />br />Lake’s speech in the debate raised eyebrows. In a reprise of rapper Shaggy he effectively declared that: “it wasn’t me.” It was a “huge surprise as the scale of problems was never made clear to me.” He claimed that he was blocked from receiving information and pointed the finger at the now-departed Children’s Services Director Steve Reddy and CEO Tony Reeves, which surprised many of us on the opposition benches who had witnessed Lake’s warm words about both. br />br />The circumstances of Lake’s departure are as opaque as the circumstances of his relationships with Reddy and Reeves.br />br />According to his account, he applied for a union job a year ago and only got confirmation recently. If this is account is accurate then we must conclude Lake’s commitment to the people of Fazakerley was as shallow as his support for Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party.br />br />We in the Liverpool Community Independents will now try to build on the 32% vote we won in the May elections against Lake and win the seat.br />br />Few beyond his close colleagues in Liverpool Labour will mourn his departure.br />br />br />br />br />br />br />br />br />/p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> footer classentry-meta> span classcat-links> span classentry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links>Posted in/span> a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/category/uncategorized/ relcategory tag>Uncategorized/a> /span> span classsep> | /span> span classcomments-link>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2023/08/the-short-and-inglorious-career-of-councillor-frazer-lake/#comments>b>1/b> Reply/a>/span> /footer>!-- .entry-meta --> /article>!-- #post-28255 --> article idpost-28249 classpost-28249 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized> header classentry-header> h1 classentry-title>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2023/07/liverpool-labour-never-look-back/ relbookmark>Liverpool Labour: never look back/a>/h1> div classentry-meta> span classsep>Posted on /span>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2023/07/liverpool-labour-never-look-back/ title3:48 pm relbookmark>time classentry-date datetime2023-07-23T15:48:04+00:00>July 23, 2023/time>/a>span classby-author> span classsep> by /span> span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/author/gibbons/ titleView all posts by Alan Gibbons relauthor>Alan Gibbons/a>/span>/span> /div>!-- .entry-meta --> div classcomments-link> a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2023/07/liverpool-labour-never-look-back/#respond>span classleave-reply>Reply/span>/a> /div> /header>!-- .entry-header --> div classentry-content> p>Liverpool Labour collectively reminds anyone in the know of Sally Bowles in Cabaret, walking off counselling us not to look back, because they never do.br />br />Looking back means scrutinising your actions, asking how things went wrong and more importantly, how we can put them right.br />br />There are plenty of examples of this, starting with the Operation Aloft investigation and the now notorious Caller Report into three failing Liverpool City Council divisions. We are yet to see prosecutions from Aloft and, for all the heat and noise, the introduction of five generously paid Commissioners and the outpouring of glossy plans, precious little transparency about the goings-on at the Cunard Building and the Town Hall.br />br />Take the running sore of the Beautiful Ideas (BICo) saga. Here was a City Council-linked CIC dedicated to using the money generated at two north Liverpool match day car parks to fund ‘good causes.’ OK, large sums of money didn’t get to the good causes, there were no tickets for the ten quid a throw spaces, no reconciliation of funds, no Vat, no business rates, no guarantee. Oh sorry, that’s Only Fools and Horses. There were companies collapsing like dominoes and much more, but hey ho, nobody was ever called to account despite three long-undisclosed Audit reports.br />br />After their publication, was anyone held to account? No. Indeed, one of the councillors most involved in BICo, Nick Small, now holds the business brief in the new allegedly squeaky clean, Starmerite council. br />br />Even when it was revealed that there was a third, unaudited BICo car park, no alarms went off. It couldn’t now be audited retrospectively we were told. So how would we know where the money went? We couldn’t, the answer, came. So, if the answer wasn’t going to come from the council, who should we go to? Why, BICo of course. Only BICo was dissolving itself so the company’s affairs would remain inscrutable, like Mona Lisa’s smile. The whole thing was very Catch 22.br />br />What about the writing off of £230 million? That had to cause one hell of a ruckus. Well, no. It was mentioned at the Finance Select Committee, resulting, despite the efforts of some opposition councillors, in the mildest of political shrugs. Property dealer Elliot Lawless going 30 months without paying rent on the lease of the Beetham Plaza car park? Another shrug. Over a million pounds of council tax left uncollected from landlords? You guessed it a shrug. Go through the city council’s property portfolio and you’d be shrugging on into the night.br />br />Well, the multi-million pound energy bill fiasco, the result of failing to get a fixed rate fuel bill sorted, that had to cause a stink surely? It resulted in a demotion for Councillor Jane Corbett as she lost the finance brief, but there was the publication of the Mazars report and little else to disturb the limpid surface of the Cunard’s still waters.br />br />OK, well what about the revelation that fourteen Labour councillors had had fifty-one parking fines rescinded outside the official PCN appeal system? I mean, you can’t have one law for councillors and another for the public, can you? Well, it seems you can. After six months’ pestering, I received a letter from City Solicitor and Monitoring Officer Dan Fenwick admitting that the ‘custom and practice’ enshrining the quashing of fines was outside the law and had only come to light because of the Operation Aloft investigation. Did this give the green light for a searchlight to shine into the Cunard’s dark corners? Well no, it was business as usual and the Commissioners don’t undertake investigations so that’s all right then. Nothing to see here. Move on.br />br />With me, so far? Yes, at Liverpool City Council transparency, like sorry, seems to be the hardest word. Ask for somebody to account for failures and wounded looks abound on the Labour benches. What, us? No, not me, gov. We’ve only been in power for thirteen years. It must be somebody else, yes, an older boy telling us to do it, one of those officers who has conveniently left the organisation’s employ.br />br />Children’s Services though, surely a failure to protect our children had to shake the foundations of the Cunard? A damning Ofsted report had highlighted shocking inadequacies. The Labour-led administration surely couldn’t just say look forward, not back. Somebody had to take responsibility. You would think so, wouldn’t you, but when opposition parties put a motion to an Emergency Council meeting, it was the same old story.br />br />Councillor Liz Parsons, the Cabinet member responsible since the local elections in May, urged us to all work together to put things right while Councillor Lake, in charge from 2021 to 2023, went into full-on defence mode. br />br />He had, he said, raised concerns with former CEO Tony Reeves and ex-Mayor Joanne Anderson. Were these meetings minuted? He had called for the removal of the previous Children’s Director Steve Reddy? When? Was this minuted? Was it mentioned at the appropriate scrutiny committee? And why did Mr Reddy’s valedictory appearance at the Select Committee ring with expressions of gratitude and regret at his going if Councillor Lake and Mayor Anderson were so eager to get rid of him.br />br />Councillor Lake even said that the Ofsted Report: “was also a huge surprise as the scale of the problems was never made clear to me” and that he was blocked from information by Mr Reddy.br />br />At a time when many people are desperate to conclude that the City Council has ‘turned the corner’ the corridors of the Cunard still seem peopled by people who, like Sally Bowles, never look back./p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> footer classentry-meta> span classcat-links> span classentry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links>Posted in/span> a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/category/uncategorized/ relcategory tag>Uncategorized/a> /span> span classsep> | /span> span classcomments-link>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2023/07/liverpool-labour-never-look-back/#respond>span classleave-reply>Leave a reply/span>/a>/span> /footer>!-- .entry-meta --> /article>!-- #post-28249 --> article idpost-28247 classpost-28247 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized> header classentry-header> h1 classentry-title>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2023/07/councillor-alan-gibbons-speech-about-the-ofsted-report-into-liverpool-council-childrens-services/ relbookmark>Councillor Alan Gibbons speech about the Ofsted report into Liverpool Council Children’s Services/a>/h1> div classentry-meta> span classsep>Posted on /span>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2023/07/councillor-alan-gibbons-speech-about-the-ofsted-report-into-liverpool-council-childrens-services/ title4:40 pm relbookmark>time classentry-date datetime2023-07-20T16:40:14+00:00>July 20, 2023/time>/a>span classby-author> span classsep> by /span> span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/author/gibbons/ titleView all posts by Alan Gibbons relauthor>Alan Gibbons/a>/span>/span> /div>!-- .entry-meta --> div classcomments-link> a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2023/07/councillor-alan-gibbons-speech-about-the-ofsted-report-into-liverpool-council-childrens-services/#respond>span classleave-reply>Reply/span>/a> /div> /header>!-- .entry-header --> div classentry-content> p>As a primary teacher for many years whose core responsibility was the care and education of children, this report made difficult reading.br />br />The points can’t be made often enough.br />br />What did the report say:br />br />• Impact of leaders on social work practice with children and families. Inadequatebr />• Experience and progress of children who need help and protection. Inadequatebr />• Experiences and progress of care leavers. Inadequatebr />• Overall effectiveness. Inadequatebr />br />Here are four excerpts:br />br />“This inspection identified serious weaknesses for children who need help and protection, which leave children being harmed or at risk of harm.br />br />Some children have had their child protection plan removed too soon and risks have not been mitigated. This is leaving some children at risk of, or suffering, ongoing significant harm.br />br />In particular, the response from agencies, including the police, to children who experience sexual harm is sometimes poor. As a result, these children are not getting the help and support they need and these serious crimes are not always investigated.br />br />Subsequent child in need planning is not always robust, and some services are closed to children too soon. This has resulted in some children experiencing further incidents of harm and repeated children’s social care interventions.”br />br />The Ofsted report could hardly be more damning, could it?br />br />Now we are used to the Labour benches responding to highly critical reports, the energy bill fiasco, the parking fines scandal, the Caller report, Beautiful Ideas and more with a kind of wounded expression while in practice shying away from scrutiny and transparency.br />br />Just weeks before the publication of the report, the Liverpool Labour Manifesto could write this:br />br />br />br />From that, would you imagine what would emerge just weeks later? This is not an accident. It is part of a persistent and enduring opaque culture in the City Council.br />br />Why is it important to say this? Quite simply, if the organisation does not turn the corner on scrutiny, transparency and accountability, recovery from this report will be too slow and children will continue to be failed.br />br />This is not about point-scoring. Honest accounting for failure is an indispensable component of improvement. Why, despite previous warnings, were the problems highlighted in this report so little discussed, so little anticipated?br />br />It is blindingly obvious that nothing, absolutely nothing, matters more than the protection and security of children’s wellbeing and happiness. Every elected member in this chamber should be demanding a proper accounting of past failures in order to ensure future improvement.br />br />Councillor Parsons has a very big job and every one of us wants to see her succeed in turning things round because not doing so would be the greatest abdication of our responsibilities.br />br />I am sure I speak for all opposition members when I say we want to be part of the council’s recovery from a very unpalatable report.br />br />The children of this city deserve the best. This organisation has failed to deliver it and one councillor who presided over the period of failure remains in the Cabinet. We don’t need another set of glossy brochures, platitudinous vision statements and wishful thinking. We need practical improvement and we need it as a matter of urgency.br />br />Liverpool City Council would not be forgiven for letting children down again./p> /div>!-- .entry-content --> footer classentry-meta> span classcat-links> span classentry-utility-prep entry-utility-prep-cat-links>Posted in/span> a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/category/uncategorized/ relcategory tag>Uncategorized/a> /span> span classsep> | /span> span classcomments-link>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2023/07/councillor-alan-gibbons-speech-about-the-ofsted-report-into-liverpool-council-childrens-services/#respond>span classleave-reply>Leave a reply/span>/a>/span> /footer>!-- .entry-meta --> /article>!-- #post-28247 --> article idpost-28222 classpost-28222 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized> header classentry-header> h1 classentry-title>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2023/03/starmer-takes-out-corbyn-what-next/ relbookmark>Starmer takes out Corbyn- what next?/a>/h1> div classentry-meta> span classsep>Posted on /span>a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2023/03/starmer-takes-out-corbyn-what-next/ title8:59 pm relbookmark>time classentry-date datetime2023-03-28T20:59:15+00:00>March 28, 2023/time>/a>span classby-author> span classsep> by /span> span classauthor vcard>a classurl fn n hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/author/gibbons/ titleView all posts by Alan Gibbons relauthor>Alan Gibbons/a>/span>/span> /div>!-- .entry-meta --> div classcomments-link> a hrefhttps://alangibbons.net/2023/03/starmer-takes-out-corbyn-what-next/#respond>span classleave-reply>Reply/span>/a> /div> /header>!-- .entry-header --> div classentry-content> p>strong>Labour’s National Executive Committee (NEC) voted 22 to 12 on Tuesday, 28th March to approve a motion from Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer to prevent his predecessor being selected for Islington North.

Could some kind of Left Party emerge, built on the foundations of the movement around Corbyn? What will happen to Momentum, founded to support Corbyn? Already Jon Lansman has indicated support for Starmer against his former leader. Similarly, will there be much resistance from the Socialist Campaign Group of Labour MPs and the left on the NEC? 12 members of the NEC voted against Starmer’s move./strong>/p>p>br />strong>As yet, it is not clear what the fallout from Starmer’s manoeuvring will be.
