Durham folk your LP candidate was just imposed by the NEC and is none other then Luke Akehurst who is currently very busy attempting to delete the many vile posts he has made on social media.
Compare and contrast to the social media activity Faiza has been purged for.
This morning, to try and give a flavour of Luke Akehurst, when mentioning him on here, I tried to link to his "take the test" Blog post from back in 2006. In that he had a test people could use to assess whether candidates had the right stuff. It had various question with score points. One question was whether the candidate approved of various historical military interventions. Support for the Iraq invasion gained points but even more points were gained if the candidate with the benefit of hindsight approved of America's invasion of Vietnam. I asked Luke about it on Twitter a couple of years ago and he vigorously defended his view that it was good that the USA invaded Vietnam.
Anyway if you now Google "luke akehurst 2006 take the test" you'll get a link to it but clicking on that just takes you to a "page not found"
