1. If Johnson was so manifestly unsuited to office - if his "deep character flaws" were formed so early - how did he rise to power? What does that say about our democracy, or the qualities we reward in potential leaders? And what was the role of the commentariat?

@thestrayferret If there’s any misleading going on, surely it’s by Cllr Myers. The standard method *is* a measure of housing need. HBC’s target is so much higher because they’ve chosen to use housebuilding as a means to generate economic growth

@BrianMinards @thestrayferret As part of a relatively inexpensive propaganda campaign against cycling infrastructure it’s been a resounding success.

@BrianMinards @thestrayferret The opposite. The clue is “in addition”. But I do think this scheme has been appallingly mismanaged. (If you accept it was a genuine attempt to encourage “modal shift”.)

@RockyInHG @thestrayferret This fixation on the visitor economy has contributed to Harrogate having one of the lowest workplace wages in the country.* A new vision is certainly needed. (*Source - HBC)

@thestrayferret Cllr Duncan is *very* excitable about the A59. He even claims it's 'listed by the Government in the top 10 routes for strategic importance nationally'. Which it isn't, and never has been.

@thestrayferret So by ‘non-political fact checking’ he means the opposite? You’d think he and his staff would have better things to do. Obviously not.

@morgim @thestrayferret NYCC are really excitable about roads, perhaps it's infectious. And it's only the beginning: top of the infrastructure list for the 'new settlement' is *another* £21m on this same junction...
