Labour's Elected Mayor said this morning 'that he didn't know if there was an issue in Leicester or not' Simple answer is he's not fit for the job and he must resign. Over the last few weeks Leicester has seen a spike in cases of Covid 19 - most shocking is this is against a backdrop of falling cases across the country - despite this rise in cases in Leicester the labour council leader is still unable to recognise there is an issue. The level of complacency from the city mayor is outrageous. Maybe if the labour mayor had spent, less time breaking the lockdown laws then the City might be in a much better position in terms of handling this crisis. The Labour Mayor's not fit for the job and he must resign.
