When Labour tries to ditch the MP OF THE YEAR, you know the party has lost all direction
Ian Byrne: his own party may have dis-Organise-d him but will he be able to use the social(ist) media to turn the tables on the hierarchy?
Could the UK’s voters ever have been given a clearer sign that they should not support a political party?
Labour is trying to remove MP of the Year Ian Byrne from his Liverpool West Derby Parliamentary seat – but as he is the recipient of that award, and hasn’t done anything wrong, the party is trying an inventive way of doing it. Constructive dismissal, one might suggest.
So, in the campaign to be reselected as the party’s candidate for that seat, Labour has rescinded Mr Byrne’s access to Organise, the communication facility between the party hierarchy and its members.
His rival in the campaign – a shiny Wes Streeting-a-like from London – does have access to the tool and therefore has a huge advantage over Mr Byrne, who is reduced to trying to resource his reselection campaign on the social media.
Here’s Damo with the details:
Labour is so blatantly rigging selection rules now, that they've removed MP Ian Byrne's access to his local membership, leaving him running a campaign via social media as the only way to get the word out. Well, I've some words too…#DamoRants #WestDerbyhttps://t.co/BZl6SY0u8w
