It’s a good move in that it will hopefully spark a national debate on how new-labour are running roughshod over our rights and freedoms.
His seat isn’t entirely safe, so it really is a very principled stand.
Hats off to the man.
“His seat isn’t entirely safe, so it really is a very principled stand.”
His seat is safe in this case, he won it by 5000 odd majority over the Lib Dems with Labour a distant third, and the Lib Dems already said they won’t contest the by election.
I think it is a principled stand, but I’m worried it could end up just looking like a publicity stunt.
The obvious political move for Labour would be to dismiss it as such and also not to contest the seat. Interesting to see if that’s what they do.
