[Politics] Lloyd Russell-Moyle

[:J)]

The problem is that no party can ignore serious allegations, nor can they make them public. They may not be able to tell the relevant person the nature of the complaint in case it jeopardizes the safety of the person making the complaint. Especially if it would be a police matter.

Had labour sat on this, even if the MP were later found to be innocent, they could rightly be accused of attempting to brush allegations under the carpet.

Bloody annoying, of course, but it is what it is.

Utter rot.

It's factional McCarthyism ridding the party of anyone vaguely on the left. "A police matter" - after the "incident" happened 8 years ago. Most convenient just weeks before an election. And if it's an accusation of anti-semitism/racism then why are MPs and councillors on the right of the party still in place:



The purge is simply to make way for Starmer's mates:









No need for Starmer's Labour to brush any of these obvious inconsistencies under the carpet though, as they will be largely ignored by the media.

I just looked at LRM's statement on Twitter and it was interesting to see prominent Green politicians' (including Elaine Hills, the candidate in Kemptown) supportive messages. She said:
'I’m so sorry @lloyd_rm - I hope you’re ok. This is really shabby, just before an election. I hope members of the local party are supporting you.'

Still a place for human empathy in politics.

I wonder if it's too late for him to stand as an Independent?

Do you know many key Labour people in the Kemp Town? I knew lots who were/are connected to Turner, then Platts. Lifelong supporters and hard working volunteers. They can’t stand LRM.

There is no progressive alliance, even within the local LP.

Seems ridiculous that an allegation can be made that results in immediate suspension, not giving the candidate enough time to defend the allegations.

That's Starmer's Labour Party for you.

No, I only know 1 who would fit that description. They have spoken highly of Nancy Platts and after failing to unseat Saint Caroline, getting the Kemptown nomination might be seen as just reward.

Really

That’s what Malcolm Crick has said. And he’s normally quite good and knowing what’s going on.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Was it Michael Hesseltine, now regarded as a sensible old school moderate Tory, who grabbed the Mace during a Parliamentary session?

surely Dennis Skinner must have done this as well?

 

[JBizzle]

There seems top be a lot of people on this thread that have an intricate inside knowledge of a) the complaint, b) the complainant and c) the motivations of the complaint. Remarkable, given that nothing has been into the public domain.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Quite interesting what Lloyd Russell-Moyle has to say about it

"I wish Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner, and the Labour team the best of luck and hope to be celebrating Labour wins across Sussex and beyond on election night"

But there's obviously very angry posters on here who know far better than the man himself

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

i guess one good thing to come from this is that working class Labour supporters like myself are always naturally suspicious of MPs with double-barreled surnames.

and d) learned a new word ‘vexatious’, which I aim to use on Mrs Bold this evening.

Fully behind Labour purging the far left. Wish the Tories would purge the far right in their party.

I’m assuming no local vote either, straight onto the ballot paper?

 

[Hamilton]

Looks like the left wing are doing all they can to re-elect the Tories.

God give me strength!

 

[WATFORD zero]

To be fair, they have purged the centre/left of their party. And the centre, the centre/rights and the rights. And now you're asking them to get rid of what's left

Yeah! And then they could merge themselves together and become the LabCon or ConLabvertives party? (Name might need a bit of work)...

Or ChangeUK. That really took off last time.

We need someone who comes from the area and knows it well and promotes /resolves the local issues ....

If we had a dominant centralist party who could control government for 15 years we might actually become more stable as a country.

Good point. Maybe they could just rebrand. "Reform" has a nice ring to it. After this election though, please.

I thought they'd give Starmer/Reeves until the new year, then start trying to ruin it all.

 

[Withdean South Stand]

This is absolutely appalling. So anyone can make an allegation against a sitting MP after an election has been called in order to prevent a candidate being able to run? Seems very dodgy to me and a tactic which is rife for abuse.
