Conservative leader, Cllr Joe Robertson, thought that he was going to be elected as new Chairman of the Corporate Scrutiny Committee and claims there was a secret plot by the Alliance Group to appoint Labour councillor, Richard Quigley instead
The Westminster Hall debate got heated for a few minutes yesterday after the SNP Shadow Spokesperson, Brendan O’Hara, referred to far-right libertarian Tories whilst gesturing towards Bob Seely
The debate called into question the Covid-19 modelling, which he said was “getting to be a national scandal”, claiming parts of the media were responsible for a “tsunami of hysteria and fear” - News OnTheWight summarises both sides of the debate
Cllr Quigley said, "If Bob Seely was truly interested in the liberty and wellbeing of Isle of Wight residents and the UK population at large, he has had many chances to prove it"
News OnTheWight has been speaking to those who are in play and also sifting through the rumours as to who will lead the Isle of Wight Conservative councillors. Voting take places on Friday
