Dysfunctional Prudhoe Tory who lost £3m court case and broke H&S law in his home town tries to curry favour with his 3m Millionaire pensioner mates!

 

This week in our regular Codgerly runaround of Tory social media sites we noticed that Councillor Gordon Stewart, the paper picking ex-cop from Prudhoe, is trying it on again?

Allegedly Gordy, a nickname for a 12 yr old which he likes to be known by, spoke at Prudhoe Town Council last Thursdayto try to protect millionaires from losing £200 or £300 in Winter Fuel Allowance.

His plea was to get Prudhoe Town Council to engage with new Hexhamshire Labour MP Joe Morris seeking his help to ensure the payment is made to others than those able to claim pension credit.

Gordy, who it is said only reads the papers he picks up if dropped on his end of Prudhoe’s commercial High Street, must have missed the £24M payout by the Labour Government to aid those in greatest need who do not qualify for Pension Credit through the North-East’s 12 prime Local Authorities and believe it or not Gordy is a member of one of them!

Or it may be simply because his Leader of the Northumberland Tory Group, Glen Sanderson had like every other decision he takes, kept the income a secret and hadn’t bothered to inform his Councillors including Gordy who may be off the team now Guy Opperman isn’t there to fight his corner for him and Glen Sanderson has already blown the gaff by steering the needy to everybody but his team of Councillors if help is required.

We codgers have also noted how quiet Gordy was during the time period when his team in Government was ripping off the state to fill their Tory ‘friends’ pockets with Billions of Pounds yet now he is trying to manipulate others to top up the £3,130,000 millionaire pensioners purses with the question on most folks lips and minds is ‘do uk pensioner millionaires really need £200 or £300 to help pay their winter fuel bills? Most don’t although Gordy thinks they do and he may need the hoy oot cash that may come from aiding them.

It’s noticeable that Northumberland’s farmers first council hadn’t read the horizon at all.

Red sky at night, farmers delight, Red sky in the morning farmers warning or so the old saying goes. 

Northumberland County Councillors who are about to change their spend on essential services switching their shockingly massive black hole in social services expenditure to reaming it wider through a planned spending spree on farmers have plenty of red sky mornings yet to come.

The Governments hardening up of workers rights has kicked many of their plans right in the teeth with a teachers strike locked in place in Berwick due to the Tories intransigence in speaking with staff and their wish to educate Berwick’s children on the cheap.

In order to save cash to spend now on farming glamour projects they have agreed yet again in secret to sink their redundancy scheme and offer ditched workers a nice reference instead.

But as a worker who may wish to remain employed in the public sector after all the bullying, criminal investigations that lead nowhere other than back to malicious Tory Members and the fact that departments have been remotely run for several years by highly paid absentee officers based in the midlands and London. Would you like to have Northumberland County Council sitting on your CV without being highly remunerated for it? Or are you willing to put up with the sideways glances other employers will give you in future that’s if a future is made available to you at all?

It’s time NCC got real and began a structured conversation on how they are going to drive through a structured redeployment plan with their teachers in the Berwick Cluster before the change in the law gives workers a stronger hand.
