Suspended Sefton Tory Councillor David Barton was isolated even further at
the Council meeting when he was left literally speechless and completely on
his own.
The Duke Ward Councillor who is perhaps most famous for his hijacking of
the Sefton Council wreath at the Cenotaph for a political photo-session,
remains suspended from the Conservative group while awaiting trial on
money-laundering charges due to come to trial next year.
At the council meeting, Councillor Barton wanted to put forward a motion
for debate about external funding sources. However, he had not had the
courtesy to even discuss his motion with his Conservative colleagues before
going to the meeting. When Deputy Mayor Kevin Cluskey asked him who the
seconder for his motion was, Cllr Barton told him that he assumed one of
his Southport colleagues would do so. But not one single Conservative
Councillor present was willing to back him, even formally.
After a few dozen seconds of embarrassing silence, the Mayor informed
Councillor Barton that he could not move his motion and the council's
agenda moved on.

I`m sure he`ll find he has plenty of "friends" when he gets in those prison showers.

If he's suspended from the Conservative party then the other Conservative councillors aren't his colleagues.

Beggars belief with me, whoever voted for this person in the first place!!!!! He was elected I presume.
Perhaps the same as those who vote UKIP?

The people to really blame are the local conservative party who do not possess sufficient spinal fluid to eject him from their coven.
The little creep is all brass neck . How does he get away with it? Answer: he probably has the negatives.
