Woman’s Own
The Labour Party has decided that there will be an all-women shortlist for choosing its parliamentary candidate in Colne Valley. This is the same procedure that produced the last MP. The Huddersfield Examiner annouced in a leader that this meant that Colne Valley would have a women MP after the next General Election - a sentiment welcomed by the Lib Dem candidate Nicola Turner. However the Examiner was forced to apologise the following day by pointing out that the Tory candidate was a man.
On the ground the campaign is hotting up. The Liberal Democrats have delivered a full colour leaflet across all 6 wards. Now the Tories have followed suit - unfortunately their glossy publication was published in London and printed in Guildford - and delivered commercially. In the meantime the Labour Party is showing signs of life; local residents are being phoned - from Sheffield!
