Calm down Eddy.
When the election came round the National Executive of the Labour Party endorsed 'Perma Tan Williams'. So the election was being managed by Kiers team, a man so wooden he's a fire risk.
Parachuted candidates are never a popular option, as it's the equivalent of a smack in the face with a wet cod for the local Party.
The election is history, but is that ex Tanning Boutique a sign of a split twixt local and national bodies?
When the result was announced, Williams was off like a rat up a drainpipe as were the imported foot soldiers....defeat is an orphan and the parents logged it sharpish in this case.
The shop should have been stripped of all signage, no one wants a constant reminder of failure and that's what it is. The local Party might not want it but it needs neutralising for their sake.
