When is the MSM going to report on this?

Never.

No. I expect you’re right. It’s scandalous.

Maybe the last entry (Hylton Castle) is a mistake? The following article has "... will now represent the Hylton Castle ward as an independent", so this might not be a by-election: www.itv.com/news/tyne-te...

The last time I looked it was 12 Reform resigned or suspended. I presume the difference is "by-election triggered"?
