Cllr Stokes stated that your former Lib Dem leader (Duncan Buchanan) was deselected from his ward for attempting to impose discipline on Lib Dems in Slough, but others say it was for his failure in the role you now occupy. Can you confirm whether Cllr Stokes was correct on this occasion?
I am not going to answer questions on party matters, just as I would not expect you to answer questions about the forceful removal of former Councillor Zeib prior to last year's elections, or the failed attempt by a former Councillor's wife to de-select Cllr Simmons ahead of the borough elections this year.
