As you can see from the extract of the email of the 14th, published above, it became clear that Mr Buck had also sided with both UK Docks those on South Tyneside Council who had been bullying the MP for a number of years and it appears that the bullying was extended to an attempt at deselection of her by CLP but she was saved by Mr Rees-Mogg and the PM calling an early election to Get Brexit Done.
It appears that the bullying had come from very top because in November 2020 the Leader Iain Malcolm later resigned in disgrace for bullying staff but what is more significant was the Chief Executive, Mr Martin Swales, had handed in his resignation six weeks earlier, possibly to avoid being associated with doomed Leader of the Council.
Both, the bullying of the MP in late 2019 and the departure Messrs Swales and Malcolm were reported by the Gazette in late 2020 but the articles are no longer available so I had to refer elsewhere for evidence that the Chief Executive had also left under a cloud. When I lived in South Shields I used to get Gazette copies but now I live in Amble that option is no longer available.
While Councillor A Hamilton does not talk of being bullied it is hard to read this without coming to the conclusion that she also has been bullied since she became a Labour Councillor in 2018:- “Two weeks after I was elected, a colleague compared me in derogatory terms to a dead councillor.

I informed her on 2nd May 2023, that I would not give it a rest until it was admitted that UK Docks’ shed is was taller than planned and the other Local Residents and I had been right about its height since since September 2013.
After your request to give it a rest in April 2023:-

Will you just give it a rest mate!
I did a bit of research and that led me back to the Council’s Standards Committee meeting of 6th July, 2018 were in response to a question from Cllr Doreen Purvis, the legal chief said:-
“The [complaints] process itself provides for complaints or communications, that are described as being complaints but mainly aren’t, to be rejected fairly early on if they’re considered to be tit for tat, politically motivated or ‘vexatious’,” Interim Head of Legal Services, John Rumney, said.
