Mr Kitcat will be working as interim digital lead for the Democratic Society (Demsoc) “delivering NHS Citizen, supporting other client projects and internal digital strategy”.

He will also be offering independent consulting to clients including the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services (ADASS) and the Local Government Association (LGA).

Demsoc, which has offices in Brighton and Hove, describes itself as “trying to build a more participative democracy, based on good information, transparent government and open decision making”.

    Ah, “consulting” – in other words, hoovering up public money, getting Councils to feed him people’s Council Tax in order to provide “expert advice” – advice that is, of course, completely free from any scrutiny or regulation as to its quality.
    NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT.

      Can you tell us what you do for a job? You seem to be in the grip of an obsession and spend all your time, all day long, in commenting on sites. You were doing so all the time on Twitter – I had to block you. And so did others.

        Or perhaps you could tell us what you are doing now that you lost your job as a councillor and failed (miserably) in getting a job as an MP – other than,of course, apparently now spending your entire day posting sycophantic comments for the loathsome green party that came THIRD in the council elections.

        It says what I do for a job on my Twitter profile, Chris. Your hilarious desire to silence voters who don’t agree with you is notice, as is your loss of deposit at the ballot box.

          Oh and I mean, really, fuck off with your ad hominem trolling. 🙂

    Wiley, who spends most of his day posting comments on newspaper comments boards, now complains about other people spending time commenting on newspaper comment boards!

    Very blackened pot calls kettle black!

    Good to see that Jason is already making progress and putting the valuable experience of running a council to good use. Demsoc sounds like a very worthwhile organisation.

      I’m retired and have the time to post here and express my personal views – what is your excuse – what do you do for a living – other than being a green party crony who was funded by the green ‘led’ council and apparently took notice of your naïve notions?

      And good you are coming to the rescue of poor Christopher – he was never really destined for political life – a bit like Jason who was also well out of his depth standing in a puddle. Strange he, like you, won’t admit to what he is does for a living.

      A lot of us, and it seems many of the left-wing greens like Alex4, were glad to see this pompous public school toff depart.
