Let's be frank. The Fairfield Halls Report in the Public Interest is another deathly blow for Labour Croydon. What follows are remarks I have put on another social media platform. I attach some photos to lighten the mood as we go along. These photos come from my #XCroydonwalk 
This article by me as attached was published by @InsideCroydon on Saturday afternoon.

Key points from me arising from my article and the sorry saga of yet another Report in the Public Interest about Croydon council, this time for mislaying of £37.5m above the budgeted £30 m Fairfield Halls spend, follow.
The removal of long-standing supporters of a Directly Elected Executive Mayor (DEEM) as @CroydonLabour candidates in the local election is route 1 to Labour losing. My candidature being #rescinded for re-interview, @JamieAudsley being removed as cllr & not being allowed to be 1/6
considered in a Labour members' postal ballot, as a very good Labour candidate for Mayor, after being the by far leading male candidate in terms of votes at well attended constituency party meetings & the blocking of DEMOC activist & former candidate Ranil Perera 2/6
reveals a #Labour party entirely unreconciled to having a Directly Elected Executive Mayor. Voters, quite reasonably, will take the view "If Labour don't like the job. Let someone else do it." 3/6
UPDATE: coming up soon. I have received a response to my polite and bridge building letter to @CroydonLabLCF re my #rescinded Labour candidacy for #Waddon. I am analysing the e-mail. Time to stand up to Wotan? 1/32
UPDATE: I have read response to my polite & bridge building letter to @CroydonLabLCF re my #rescinded Labour candidacy for #Waddon. LCF Response is a top-class piece of surrealist art of the absurd. But first a briefing on the background 2/32
UPDATE: Selection process for 2022 @CroydonLabour Cllr candidates saw the excellent @JamieAudsley barred from council candidacy for not mentioning the words "Directly Elected Mayor" often enough in his interview. @JamieAudsley was 1 of 2 Labour Cllrs to speak up for DEM3/32
