Yes Councillors Jones, it states six months ago. Not the day before the internal election.
Care to offer an explanation or was the Labour Party really going to impose a candidate on the people of Central Ward that was with the Conservatives many months earlier?.
Either Councillor Jones is wrong or the Observer have got it wrong yet again.
Which is it my dear chap? If the latter, can you ask the Editor to amend it.

I believe the party rules are after 6 months unpaid dues you forfeit your membership. You cannot be selected without being a member. I don't know if Safdar was in arrears but no-one has memntioned it to me. On that basis I can only presume he was fully paid up and a load of mishief makingis going on inside the Tory camp.
I don't tell lies, I may get things wrong, see things form a different angle but I don't tell deliberate lies. I have more interests and friends outside of politics to want to be tarnished with that brush. Politics is only a small (but at the moment significant) part of my life.
