@teabynameteabynature @Whiskeyomega but yes you could... this is bleakly hilarious but I really want to see the sources here
I thought English councillors are paid, just paid badly?

According to this they don't get a salary, but they get an allowance designed to cover expenses. I expect the one in question thought he was going to get a fat salary.

@Whiskeyomega I would like to know how the one who thought he was becoming an MP found out. I want to believe he showed up at Parliament and demanded to know where his office was

@suearcher @teabynameteabynature @Whiskeyomega wow
I was considering / being considered as a potential local authority councillor here in Scotland some years ago... they do get a salary, augmented if you join various committees, but it's low, well less than minimum wage if you actually take it seriously and put the hours in. and as I worked for the local authority I'd also need to quit my job

Each one triggering a by-election that costs something like £20,000 to run. -
@cflynnbooks Where was it ?

@cflynnbooks @Whiskeyomega Do we have fact-checked evidence that this person is not real?
Waveney Valley is the constituency of Adrian Ramsay MP (Green Party). Has he picked this up?
Basically, is this true? - The link doesn't work for me #GreenParty -

They used AI to doctor the photo, which ended up being interpreted as him being entirely AI (link is to a video) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cp8p618kyp3o
