You would think watching the hubris demonstrated by Wirral Tories that Seacombe has suddenly turned into a safe Tory seat, simply because former Socialist Cllr Knowles has abandoned his obviously shallow principles for reasons known only to himself and joined the Tories (though I suspect that losing his £20k + Merseytravel allowance had something to do with it).

The reality is that there is a great deal of anger from the people of Seacombe in the way Cllr Knowles has treated them, with many unhappy in the way they have had a Tory Councillor foisted upon them, and all we have spoke to want him out.

No doubt Cllr Knowles is enjoying mixing with his new Tory chums like Cllr Chris Blakeley, Tory Party Chairman Eric Pickles and no doubt he is looking forward to meeting the great leader himself David Cameron, but if Cllr Knowles had an ounce of decency left then he would resign and let the people of Seacombe have their say. But I doubt that will happen as everyone knows including Cllr Knowles and the Wirral Tories that the Tory hubris in Seacombe is pure fantasy.

However there has been one side effect, that is the number of people beating a path to the door of Seacombe Branch Labour Party in order to join the Labour Party and help rid Seacombe of former Socialist Cllr Knowles.
