We reported on the twinning vote by councillors in Worcester on 26 February, before the national press belatedly started jumping up and down about the issue, and congratulated the city on the move - although it hasn't been signed off yet by Worcester's Twinning Association.
Well now it looks like the Labour Party in Worcester is getting cold feet. What is it with these politicians? They do something really good and then have to bottle it.
The leader of the Labour group on the council is banning the councillors from discussing the 'twinning controversy'.
Gaza Solidarity will be investigating the issue further and hoping to find a councillor willing to break this ludicrous ban on promoting their own fine work.
Jack Blanchard on the local paper also reports that the party is to hold its AGM next Monday at 7.30pm - the exact same time as the Twinning Association meeting to discuss/endorse the Gaza move.
Come on Labour, stick to your guns, if that's the right expression to use as the media seem to think the good people of Worcester are going to start shipping arms to the resistance if the twinning goes ahead.
