Andrew Kilburn, recently elected as a county councillor in Durham, has stepped down after just after a week in the job.
This time it is because he isn’t actually allowed to be a councillor, on the basis that he already works for the council. So presumably he lied on his eligibility declaration. How he hoped they wouldn’t find out I have no idea.
He has since chosen to keep his job rather than stick around and represent the people that elected him. Yet another wasteful by-election will have to be arranged.
