Complete non-entities given a story on a non-entity website.
Why do you keep posting stories from this utter shite?
We've had news on Labour councillors stepping down before and the Morning Star is a well-known left-wing source of news. I don't see a problem with this
Two councillors stepping down in an area where they would vote for a donkey if it wore a red rosette is not a story.
I doubt many people in Sefton itself could name these two. Yet it's supposed to be of national interest?

How many people know the councillors from their neighbouring wards unless they are a council bigwig? Personally, I didn't know one of them but I voted the other one in.
The significance is that this is coming on the back of other councillors stepping down last week and a slow trickle of resignations over the last few months. Individually, it might not be a big deal but it is part of a larger trend that is worth reporting on.
I appreciate stories like this
Because it shows there are self-important people at all levels of politics?
You consider two councillors that make decisions for just under 300K people to be non-entities? What does someone have to be to be worth reporting on for you?
Councillors represent wards within that area. These two probably represent about 10k-ish people each?
The majority group in a council usually forms the cabinet, which makes most local decisions for an area.
It's the largest worker owned paper in this country.
It is also such a "non-entity" that it was targeted by spooks multiple times (and apparently read by Margaret Thatcher)
Yeah. During the Cold War.
Things have moved on a bit since then.
