Panel Beating?

It turns out that no hustings are being held at North West Durham because the great and the good of the Constituency Labour Party refuse to allow Laura Pidcock to be put up against me. Yes, really. None of them had met her two and half years ago, and none of them has signed her nomination papers this year, but most or all of them have known me for anything up to 35 years.

Meanwhile, her own exotic entourage is falsely telling potential venues that hustings with me on the panel would be a breach of my bail conditions. Either on principle, or because they are registered charities such as churches or community centres, or both, those venues are not prepared to hold hustings without inviting all of the candidates. Of course, Pidcock's camp followers have known that that would be the situation.

Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. I am standing for Parliament here at North West Durham. The crowdfunding page is here, and buy the book here. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
