Tories attempting to Mainstream Fake News Team

With the Tories ‘Secret Council’ exposed on television this week by the outgoing Leader of Northumberland Labour Group Grant Davey, over them holding what they describe in the report as an ‘informal cabinet’ where the Tories agreed to slash the terms and conditions of their workforce, kill off the single status agreement and remove the Trade Unions and their members from national pay bargaining.

This almost ‘STAZI’ like activity took place whilst at the same time putting huge wage hikes into their budget for top staff, raising top staff pay levels well above those the Tory Leader of Council, Peter Jackson, complained about in 2015 in his half famous ‘footballers wages’ speech.

To cover over this ‘secret activity’ and to direct staff minds away from the dreadful cuts they are facing, we expect the Council to spin out ever more fake news surrounding ARCH in the next few weeks. As usual they will pump it through Georgina Hills ‘Toxic’ audit committee probably justifying it with a report from the man described in a recent bullying tribunal case as the Councils ‘Hired Gun’ Steve Crosland of Crosland Consulting who in an attempt to mainstream his activities has been made a Director of the Councils arms length company Active Northumberland. He reports directly to the Deputy Chief Executive of the Council Kelly Angus, number two in the STAZI and HR Director of the Council responsible for staff pay and conditions.

In order to ensure that the Council can support the ‘Wayne Daley’ plan to ‘gift £80M of public money to schools who have left the Council education system and academised themselves on into the private sector’; The workforce will be made to pay to cover up the Tories messy budget and medium term financial plan along with paying the massive legal bills the Council is running up to protect its Chief Executive and others from exposure to the myriad of bullying cases the Council is locked into. The Council employs more than 6500 staff covered by the single status agreement and the terms and conditions cuts will permeate through into lower spend in the local economy over the next two years, making businesses also suffer the consequences of these dreadful and possibly unlawful decisions by Northumberland Conservatives.
