A Salford councillor is defying the city mayor’s call for him to resign following his shock election to another authority 160 miles away. Coun Chris Twells has been a Liberal Democrat representative in the Orsdall ward since his election last year.
Coun Twells, 31, stood in the Tetbury with Upton ward for Cotwold District Council in Gloucestershire in May, and beat the sitting Conservative candidate by 60 votes. In a bizarre twist, he now sits on TWO councils and has been suspended from Liberal Democrat Party while an investigation takes place, effectively making him an Independent in both Salford and the Cotswolds.
At Wednesday's Salford city council meeting, city mayor Paul Dennett ramped up the sarcasm when he said: “It would be remiss of me not to give a very special congratulations to the Salford Liberal Democrats for their one and only gain of the election… not in Salford but in Tetbury, in the Cotswolds.

“The dedication he showed to upturning the Tories in the Cotswolds was indeed admirable - and he now becomes the first councillor I have ever heard of who holds two council seats simultaneously, 160 miles apart.”
And he continued: “Before this election, I had not been aware that this practice was entirely legal. But I think that everyone present can agree that legal or not, holding multiple council seats, registering multiple residences in different council districts, and standing for seats spanning the length and breadth of the country within short time frames is against the spirit if not the letter of the law.”
The controlling Labour group on Salford city council have now passed a resolution saying: “We believe Ordsall deserves dedicated

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Oft-remembered for soundtracking “Valley Girl” with the classic cut “A Million Miles Away,” singer-songwriter Peter Case has a worldwide following, but veteran followers of the Los Angeles music scene may have spent the last 40 years or so trying to solve a puzzle about him. The riddle: When Case was a master of Beatlesque power-pop in his role as frontman of the Plimsouls, one of the great L.A. bands of the early ‘80s, was that the real him? Or is he an ageless acoustic-folkie who accidentally got swept up in rock’s new wave on the way to the hootenanny? Because, even with decades of hindsight, fans may still have a problem reconciling these two primary identities as being the same guy.
Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief “Fast X” predictably won a second weekend on top of the mainland China box office, driving its total past the $100 million mark. But the disappointing start for Disney’s live-action “The Little Mermaid” was the bigger talking point. “Fast X” earned $17.6 million in China according to data from consultancy Artisan Gateway. That was a 66% drop compared with its opening weekend, but still gave the film a $110 million cumulative after 12 days and has caused estimates to be further revised upwards. Ticketing agency Maoyan is now forecasting that the film will finish with RMB880 million ($126 million), having previously predicted RMB728 million ($104 million), and then RMB840 million.

Ed Sheeran has reflected on his recent high-profile plagiarism trial in a new TV interview.The pop star was found to have not copied Marvin Gaye‘s ‘Let’s Get It On’ for his 2014 Number One hit ‘Thinking Out Loud’, a US court ruled on Thursday (May 4).The case was brought against the pop star in 2016 by Ed Townsend – one of the co-writers on Gaye’s classic 1973 track – who accused Sheeran of copying the song on his 2014 hit.Earlier today (May 7), the singer appeared on CBS Sunday Morning to discuss his new album ‘–’ and the case.Of the controversy around the case, and why he felt it necessary to pursue victory on behalf of all songwriters, and to set a future precedent, Sheeran said: “There’s like four chords that get used in pop songs. And if you just think mathematically the likelihood of this song having the same chords as this song—there’s multiple, multiple songs—it’s all the same four chords … you are going to get this with every single pop song from now on.“Unless it just stops, which I don’t think it does because it’s a big money business to take things to court.
