If you look at the Tower Hamlets Council web site tonight and check the details for the elected Councillors in Shadwell ward, you will notice that there are now only 2 councillors instead of the 3 listed previously. Rumour mill has it that Respect Councillor, Shamim Ahmed Chowdhury, (who got the highest vote for diss-respect in the ward) has resigned not only as a Councillor but also as a member of Respect. There is apparently a “hot” press release out somewhere. Probably best to check out “TRIAL BY JEORY” in this week's East End Advertiser out Thursday. This is the second Councillor to leave Respect in just over 2 months. Labour Majority on council now 4. A hotly contested by-election in the summer months would seem to be on the cards.
