Yup, but you’re on the wrong thread.

My opinion is that your posts are getting more desperate by the day. It's really rather amusing, as I said a few pages back :thumbsup:

This thread is such a depressing list of what a corrupt cabal in complete breakdown keep doing whilst the fabric of the UK implodes around them.

The only highspots are the occasional forays into whataboutism by the last desperate dregs of the cabal's support. Betting odds, misogyny, but, but, but what about Starmer, wokeism etc etc ............... very brief comical interludes amongst the death throes. If only someone had warned about what would happen ..... oh :dunce:

Do you have an opinion? Labour is following electoral law, unlike Rishi Sunak broadcasting during a week when there are two by-elections. Purdah? What Purdah?What else can they do?

Labour withdraws support for Rochdale candidate after Israel-Gaza remarks

Party no longer campaigning for Azhar Ali, who suggested Israel had allowed 7 October attack to happen

Labour has withdrawn its support for Azhar Ali, its candidate for this month’s Rochdale byelection, in the wake of controversial comments he made about the 7 October attacks on Israel.
In line with electoral law, Labour cannot replace Ali with another candidate because the deadline passed on 2 February. He will stand as a Labour candidate on the ballot paper, but if elected he will not hold the party whip and will sit as an independent MP.

Not support him for 24 hours and drop support for him as soon as his garbage came to light.

My opinion (and this is the wrong thread for it) is that people should be given the benefit of the doubt in the event of single missteps but if further evidence of a pattern of behaviour emerges then that’s a different story. That appears to be what happened in this scenario and the party acted accordingly. It begs questions of the local party who chose him as a candidate, but the idea it reflects on the wider party or Starmer is ludicrous IMHO.

Should someone be barred from office if they were found to chant “Go get your father’s gun and shoot the Palace scum” in the North stand? I don’t think so. Actually taking a gun to Croydon and waving it about, however…

More corruption. Oozing out of every pore.


I wouldn't describe this as corruption, more complacency and lack of professionalism. These people should be proud to serve the public, they really should be policing themselves. I am all in favour of having politicians in places where they have industry expertise, and if they DO have industry expertise there there's a good chance they'll have either an equity stake OR close connections with firms that will be affected.
