Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

But after having sent the letter to Kidsgrove Town Council, rather than Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council, she changed her mind about quitting.

Electoral Commission rules stated a councillor cannot withdraw their resignation once it has been received by the authority.

“In this instance, a letter was hand-delivered to an incorrect address at Kidsgrove Town Council.

Her resignation letter was shared by a local political group, Kidsgrove Independents, who claimed Ms Duffy handed it directly to the clerk of Kidsgrove Town Council.

Ms Duffy hit back at the publication of the letter, writing: “I am appalled that a private letter, provided in confidence to the Clerk of Kidsgrove Town Council

She didn't send it to the wrong council. She hand delivered it!

The only solace to the rise in bigotry and fascism is their absolute idiocy and incompetence.
