Wonder if the grass is doing this in installments?Second candidate caught up in anti-semitism scandal at same Ali meeting.
The PPC for Hyndburn apparently. Hope he enjoyed being a politician, very briefly.

Was it a fever dream or did I hear on the radio that the grass was a Corbyn supporter. I really hope it wasn't some weird dream...
Probably the most accurate prediction so far, it will be awesome if barely anyone votes and Ravin Rodent Subortna romps home since let's face it how can you not love a name like that?
I'm another who thinks that the War in Gaza is not an issue that will have more than the most minimal effect on any election in this country. However assuming for the sake of argument it does why would anyone vote for Galloway as a result of that?
Even in a constituency where a third of the people are Muslim?
is that antisemitic?
Got my vote
Depends on his commitment to the neoliberal cause.
"Vote for a sex pest who's running for RefUK because he's just that passionate about leaving the ECHR", what a great Labour position.
Yeah, the vicar seems like the obvious best choice of the bunch. Especially since, if he could manage to get himself sent down again, he'd then be the one candidate who could convincingly promise to not do anything fucking stupid in Parliament. Having said that, given her documented fondness for northwestern pizzerias, you'd think the pizza man should be a shoe-in to get endorsed by the Guardian's Northern editor.
Nope, it's someone reacting to a massacre. It's no different to someone saying 'fucking America' following American atrocities. Someone coming out with 'fucking Israel' might of course be antisemitic, those words aren't.
If you are in the Labour Party you can only react to massacres if you repeat the Starmer/Lammy script prompts which will be revised when and if the Americans issue a press release . This is what grown ups do if they are in the room .
Yeah, the article does provide a bit more context:
Which illustrates the line-blurring silliness that's going on here - I can see why Ali's comments, even if not antisemitic in themselves, can be seen as going too close to a line, drawing on dodgy conspiratorial tropes, etc, but I can't see any comments from Jones reported so far as being anything other than just... sensible really. Bit baffled as to what someone with a functioning moral compass was doing in Labour in 2024 in the first place.
What has Rochdale done to deserve this shit show?
Bill Oddie.
Might be because of where he and his office get funding. Trevor Chin lobbyist for israel.
You got me thinking of what Milord Keir's musical tastes must be and sure enough it turns out he was on Desert Island Discs. Starts off with a decent bit of Northern Soul, but the rest is (predominantly) as beige as you'd expect. You can't object to the Grenfell song he has on last, but that's there for political rather than musical reasons. Obviously I've not listened to the programme, as narcolepsy is a very real condition.
