IT'S amazing how many politicians around here have an uncanny resemblance to music stars - especially former Worcester City Council leader Adrian Gregson, who appears to be morphing into legendary rock legend Robert Plant, of Led Zeppelin fame, by the day.

Maybe that would explain why one of his Labour Party colleagues in Worcestershire, Councillor Graham Vickery, inexplicably turned up at County Hall last week wearing a cotton glove on one hand.

The beard-sporting lefty proceeded to wear this one glove throughout the entire meeting, a fashion disaster The Source can only presume was some kind of tribute to Michael Jackson, although it's hardly a 'Thriller' sitting through all these council meetings.

If anyone spots a lone black glove on the pavements of Worcestershire, you know where to return it.

Ow!

* LAST week, delighting in the news that a leaked auditor's report had highlighted glaring concerns over the county council's use of consultants, the opposition Labour group decided to ask a staggering 13 questions to the Tory leadership on it during a ding-dong debate which practically turned the air blue.

Perhaps next time we have debates like this it could be sponsored by the Repetitive Strain Association.

* LAST month we told you how consultancy fees and legal costs run up by the county council for Worcestershire's incinerator topped £900,000 in 2013/14, compared to an original budget of £42,000 - a 2,000 per cent rise.

Councillor Anthony Blagg, the Tory bigwig in charge, warned during a full council meeting last week "don't believe everything you read in the newspapers" over it.

The Source has therefore decided to send our pal an early Christmas present - a reliable working calculator!

* DAVID Cameron has been rather naughtily giving away all the goss about Her Majesty's reaction to the Scotland outcome, telling media mogul Michael Bloomberg in an apparent 'private' conversation that she "purred" with delight at the news.

A few more years to wait for the knighthood now, surely. Ah diddums.
