It is clear that rather than supporting their Labour Group leadership there has been clear plotting to find excuses to be disloyal … it is a facade of discontent to say that the issues are wholesale markets, bins and council tax!

Maybe example should be taken from the Conservatives, who maintained a cohesiveness throughout their administration.

The citizens of Birmingham deserve better than becoming a ring side audience to the Labour Group imploding. If there are legitimate debates and discussions on policy issues they can be done without loaded weapons of leadership challenges?
