Sniggers all round at “Tory” Tony Dyer’s first assignment in June as leader of the council – an arse-licking session with Business West at the grand temple of council overspend, the Bristol Beacon.

Spies tell us that Tory Tony accidentally referred to himself as ‘mayor’ twice!  He also told the local business crew he had “expertise in local government finances, housing, and urban planning.”

Areas he’s never worked in and has no qualifications in according to his thin public CV. 

Deluded amateur might be a better description.
