Bit of a strange article in todays Guardian. A mixture of reporting on the Jared O'Mara case and tbe increasing unhappiness of local party members with ths NEC involvement in selecting candidates for the next election.

Comments about ex-Sheffield Hallam MP come as key figures in Bolton N.E.quit

"The entire selection committee in Bolton North East resigned after they were not allowed to choose the shortlist, an increasingly common practice in Keir Starmer’s Labour party, saying: “Yet again, it appears that the Labour party is seeking to promote the views and attitudes of a clique in London, rather than local members in the north.”

They added: “This goes against the attitude necessary to win back the red wall, which is so desperately needed to deliver a Labour government.”"
