Apologies for the lack of posts. I fled the country for a few days following the Labour selection on Saturday night.

Just catching up on a couple of developments.
Here’s comedy moment number 1.

The man introducing Lutfur is Labour regional party director Ken Clark, who, I understand was a prime mover in trying to prevent Lutfur’s candidacy).
More comedy gold later.
There’s now a story in the print version of the Telegraph about all this. It makes some pretty striking accusations about Lutfur. I may be worth him instructing solicitors to sue Gilligan for libel.

What’s wrong with him thanking his campaign manager?
