The "Greenwich Watcher" speaks to Greenwich Watch

Somone calling themselves the "Greenwich Watcher" (original huh?) has emailed us about the Tory split and some other possibly more libelous things. Thanks for the tip-offs, we're consulting our lawyers on the first one.

According to this new "Greenwich Watcher", the Tory Group is indeed split right down the middle. The whip, Cllr Eileen Glover, got her position as part of a deal which saw Cllr Spencer Drury beat fellow Cllr Chris Taylor for the leadership.

To be fair, we're not really sure this has vast implications to the day to day running of Greenwich. The opposition parties are so poorly represented on the Council that a split will make little difference in their ability to hold the nomeklatura to account.
