“The Holocaust Hoax and the Jewish Promotion of Perversity”

We have conjectured who would be the first Labour councillor in the new batch to be suspended. Now we have a favourite for all of you with a predilection for gambling.

Two incidents appear to have given rise to complaints to the police for breaches of election law.

In an unusual twist, we are beginning to see individual Labour Party candidates targeted for particular actions. Time will tell whether this will have an effect or whether it is just background noise.

What is surprising about this ‘manifesto’ is just how lacking in ambition it really is. We are not going to go through all 48 pages of it, but Labour have helpfully edited the highlights, (by cutting out pictures of the mayor, the Labour Party could have reduced its length by half!).

We see that many of the parties have put out a full slate contesting every seat in every ward. Whilst this looks like a bit of political muscle flexing, it belies the way in which the various parties have chosen to posture, rather than seek power.

The main parties have announced their candidates. We take a brief look at them here.

We are not going to carry every candidate for council, but this declaration is interesting. It is becoming evident that Labour is going to come under pressure from some of its former members.

In what must be one of the more unusual announcements, we learn that the CPA, (Christian People’s Alliance) has chosen Simeon Ademolake as their candidate for mayor.
