This is a little more sinister than first thought. I now know from the electoral department at SS Council that Mackay’s very peculiar, 300 miles distant, out of the blue entry was not submitted at the last minute “somehow” taking advantage of Wellings’ declaration, but instead was made by her election agent, the former county councillor Stephen Hollis, shortly after nominations opened. I apologise for getting it wrong above.
U.K.I.P. has fewer than two dozen candidates nationally, all the others local to their constituencies. What it did here stands out like a sore thumb.
All this can only means that he or they had foreknowledge of Wellings’ then-secret plot, which affair is presently being investigated by The Electoral Commission, the Acting Returning Officer and has been referred to Staffordshire Police.
The U.K.I.P. election agent and/or candidate could be seen as accessories in this sordid and corrupt matter, which smacks of sharp practice if not outright deception or electoral fraud.
I call on Hollis, who was seen off in May 2023, him finishing sixth, when he ceased to be Councillor for Cheslyn Hay, Essington and Great Wyrley, to speak the truth and own up to his role, and face the music.

How does UKIP have the A-U-D-A-C-I-T-Y to put some Scottish woman here, someone who holds the good people in Stone in such contempt she doesn’t even bother to reply to queries or show up at the hustings? Somehow their local Steve Hollis found in advance that Tom Wellings was going to withdraw and brought in this unknown from two or even three hundred miles away and at the very last minute. Hollis needs a knock on the door and if that doesn’t produce the truth escalate it to the police.
