Jared O'Mara: Sheffield MP arrested in fraud probe

[T_i_B]

5. Owing to the Jared O'Mara train wreck...

...the Liberal Democrats selected Laura Gordon as their candidate many months ago in preparation.

The Labour candidate Olivia Blake has just resigned as deputy leader of Sheffield City Council on the say a petition with 20,000+ signatures was handed in demanding a change to a committee system of government for the rather high handed Labour run council. A move that will do her good but reeks of cynicism.

Without wishing to give much away, I happen to know one of the candidates in Sheffield Hallam personally. I grew up in the constituency and I have already done a spot of leafleting for said candidate.

I also cannot believe that Labour did so few checks on Jared O'Mara before making him their candidate. They then compounded the issue by flooding Sheffield Hallam with activists while totally neglecting neighbouring seats like North East Derbyshire (which Labour lost for the first time since the 1930's to a ERG group Tory)
