It worth noting that those politically in bed with Lord through their membership of the Temple & Farringdon Together (TFT) party also voted overwhelmingly against using City’s Cash to speed up estate repairs. We will discuss the TFT party below but it merits mention here that it is registered with the Electoral Commission at the same address Simon Walsh gave as his home when he put himself forward as a councillor in Cripplegate.

The motion to speed up repairs that Walsh’s political allies from Lord on down voted against was put forward by Cripplegate councillor Sue Pearson, who as we noted in our previous post on Walsh has been a focus for unwarranted attacks by Lord and associated parties because she has a rock solid record of standing up for residents.
