How to carve out a career.

Councillor David Ireton, ex-butcher turned politico, has very swiftly found how to be all things to all men.
He made a good start by using his second vote in favour of himself as chairman for the second year running at Craven District Council, claiming yet more allowances of our money, and then hit the ground running by joining the extremely well paid quango, North Yorkshire Police Authority, at around £8k for 4 meetings per annum.
On Craven District Council where the council is controlled by an alliance of Lib-Dems and so called Independents, Ireton is an Independent, thereby staying on the ruling group, both as a councillor and as chairman.
On North Yorkshire County Council, where he is also a councillor, the ruling body is Conservative, so to which party does Ireton state he belongs?
Why!
Conservative of course!
Next step Westminster surely, for our chameleon friend?
